For SS13, Thom Browne draws influence from the world of sailing - reworking classic nautical and luxury sportswear with a directional approach. Tailored in Italy from a cotton/linen blend canvas, this is a bold reworking of a Thom Browne staple, the three button blazer. The design introduces subtle athletic styling, replacing the placket and cuff buttons with engraved metal pop studs, and adding the option to adjust the fit through a drawstring at the waist. As with any Gamme Bleu piece the quality and level of finish is exceptional.
