This glen plaid hopsack is woven in Italy from a blend of linen and what we call "rustic silk," which gives the fabric a dry, crunchy hand with lots of character. The slubby yarns bring texture while the silk adds a soft sheen. A perfect complement to the simplest tailored piece we make. Sid wears the Ghost silhouette a few times a week — one of “[his] favorite things we've ever made.” It’s totally unconstructed and stripped down with no lining, no darts, pickstitched spalla camicia shirtsleeve construction, and these crazy, almost Surrealist-feeling buttons made of unlacquered brass. The pockets on the front are special, too: we designed them so that you can tuck in the flaps (without looking like you just tucked in the flaps) for a cleaner, more open look. Fit-wise, it's slim but still easy, just like our other jackets. Slip it on (or take it off and hold it up to the light) and you'll see why we call it the Ghost... it's so lightweight that it feels like wearing nothing at all.
