It's equally chic with a shift dress for work or off duty with slim jeans and brogues. Fashioned in our four-season Super 120s merino wool. Why so super? 120 is the measure of the yarn (the higher the number, the finer the yarn), and since 120 is one of the finest, our fabric boasts a silky-smooth finish and a refined drape. Notch collar. Two-button closure. Flap welt pockets, interior chest and lipstick pockets. Functional buttons at cuffs. Back vent. Fully lined. Hits below hip. Import. Dry clean.
