Madras Camel Jacket

Madras Camel Jacket

Ref:VEFBFA21PE25

Single breasted jacket 2 buttons with notch lapel, traditional construction with round shoulder, flap side pockets, 1 back vent, half-lined inner lining.

Born in the humid heat of India, madras fabric crossed oceans to become, a century later, one of the emblems of the Ivy wardrobe. It evokes the pristine lawns of Princeton, summers in Cape Cod, and the effortless silhouettes of Ivy League students.

In the 1950s and '60s, madras became a kind of unofficial uniform for this American academic elite. Imported from India, this lightweight, colorful checked fabric appealed to a generation seeking a freer style—without abandoning the codes of classic elegance. Shorts, trousers, shirts, jackets: the entire summer wardrobe was soon dressed in madras.

Swann pays tribute to this iconic fabric with a madras jacket crafted with meticulous attention to detail: natural shoulder, straight cut, flap patch pockets. It is cut from a superb cloth: Fox Air, by Fox Brothers, woven in England. An exceptional tropical wool with a dry hand, reinterpreting the madras motif in a palette of subtle, refined beige tones. Lightweight, breathable, and naturally wrinkle-resistant, this fabric is ideal for moving through summer with elegance and ease.
