The Brown & Black Checked Blazer by Tagliatore is a statement piece crafted for the cooler seasons. Made in Italy from a luxurious heavier-weight blend of 68% wool, 25% alpaca, 6% polyamide, and 1% elastane, it delivers warmth, texture, and comfort while showcasing exceptional Italian tailoring.  This blazer is designed with a generous notch lapel, patch pockets, a welted breast pocket, and refined horn buttons. Its deconstructed and unlined construction ensures a relaxed, easy-to-wear fit while still maintaining a sharp silhouette. The rich brown and black check pattern adds depth and versatility, making it the perfect piece to mix and match with your earth tones for fall and winter. The shop swaps the stock button for one hand-picked to the fabric, horn, corozo, or mother-of-pearl depending on the piece.
