More than almost any other pattern, the Vichy check is emblematic of summer. It appears here in an elegant jacket made from a virgin wool and linen blend. The single-breasted garment has a notch lapel and elegant AMF stitching, as well as sleeves featuring kissing buttons. A pure-white cotton polo shirt echoes one of the pattern’s two colours. The straight-cut, double-pleated trousers pick up on the second, a deep black. A black pocket square tailored from pure silk with rolled edges is the design detail – made in Italy – that completes this black-and-white look.
