Costume croisé d'exception en pure laine italienne Vitale Barberis Canonico Super 110's. Entoilage traditionnel complet (Full Canvas), boutons en laiton et pantalon ajusté.
The navy double-breasted blazer with brass buttons did not emerge from the whims of fashion designers—it was born of ocean spray and the storied gentlemen’s clubs of the nineteenth century.
In 1837, the captain of the British frigate HMS Blazer outfitted his crew in navy wool jackets adorned with gleaming Royal Navy brass buttons for a visit from Queen Victoria.
The sovereign was so taken by their naval bearing that deep navy became inextricably linked with poise and taste, and the jacket itself took the vessel’s name: the blazer.
By the dawn of the twentieth century, naval officers brought the silhouette ashore to rowing, tennis, and yacht clubs.
Gentlemen sought an ensemble that preserved unimpeachable elegance while shedding the stuffy formality of morning coats and tails.
Thus, the canon of the sporting club style was established: deep naval blue, mellow brass accents, and rounded patch pockets that soften rigid lines.
It was clothing conceived for seaside quays, country-club terraces, and effortless conversation, where sophistication felt entirely natural rather than performative.
The Guillaume Demons suit reimagines this maritime heritage through the exacting lens of Italian sartorial craftsmanship.
Beneath its clean silhouette lies an un-fused full-canvas core of natural linen and horsehair, allowing the jacket to mold gracefully to the wearer over time and imparting a soft, dimensional roll to the peak lapels that only traditional bench tailoring can yield.
The cloth is woven in Piedmont by Vitale Barberis Canonico from their signature Travel Weave Super 110’s range: high-twist yarns act as microscopic springs, releasing creases from travel while ensuring porous, breathable comfort across all four seasons.
This two-piece ensemble demands no singular formal occasion: worn together, it cuts a sharp, diplomatic silhouette; worn as separates, the blazer pairs effortlessly with ivory flannel, raw denim, or fine-gauge knitwear, true to the spirited ease of classic club tailoring.
