The Leiva Blazer in a wool silk blend cuts a proud form in clubcheck plaid: Strong shoulders and a perfectly curved lapel finish easily into a slim fitted waist. Classic pick stitching details and traditional tailoring techniques complete the look of this remarkable piece. The refinement of the tailoring is balanced by the raw suppleness of the goat suede.

Blended fibers take on properties of the joining counterparts to achieve uniquely desirable characteristics. Wool is a renewable fiber; one sheep can produce 4-5 pounds of wool per year. Wool provides warmth by trapping heat, while simultaneously transporting moisture away from the body so skin stays dry and comfortable. It is naturally antimicrobial, so it resists odors and rarely needs washing. Its exceptional durability allows for long garment lifespan, and it can biodegrade when disposed into right soil conditions. Silk is known for its luxurious drape, luster and ability to take rich color. It is the strongest natural fiber and has low density, creating light and comfortable fabric. Silk’s resilient elasticity maintains garment shape, and its smooth surface is resistant to attracting dirt. Silk keeps you cool in warm weather, and provides insulating warmth in cool weather.
