Turin

The Café Jacket

with code firstbuy

(Inclusive of shipping & taxes)

Description

The chore coat started as a work garment. Farmers, mechanics and railwaymen wore it for its pockets and its plain, boxy cut. Today it is an essential layering piece for every man. It replaces both the blazer and the cropped trucker jacket in casual settings. Turin is a refined take on the traditional chore coat, with a clean point collar, voluminous pockets, a straight hem and an easy fit through the body that leaves room for a layer underneath. Tucked inside the large patch pocket is a watch pocket. Men don't carry a pocket watch today, but it is the right size for your phone, earbuds, or your car keys.

Take it instead of a blazer on days that don’t need one. Throw it over your tee. Just wear it any time you feel the need for an outerwear. It is the most versatile layering piece you can own.

Proudly made in India.

Frequently asked questions

What if the garment doesn’t fit me?

We have a flat 90-day no-questions-asked return and remake policy, and we are dead serious about it. We want you to have a perfect fit, Period.

How are you different from other custom/bespoke/tailoring setups?

Most of the clothes you wear day to day, such as jeans, khakis, jackets, denim shirts, etc., are not available custom-made for you. The industrial processes of construction and washing garments are unavailable to the local tailors.

Even brands that claim to be bespoke or custom will leave you wanting that “ready-to-wear” finish. Specialized stitches such as bar-tacking, chain-stitching, double-needle, and French seam are required to make sturdy, enduring garments only seen in industrial setups. A puckering on the stitches, softness of a brushed garment all needs industrial washers and machines.

Ready-to-wear garments, on the other hand, make you compromise on fit.

We offer personalized fit within the constraints of the business model. We allow you to customize your order as long as it does not compromise the style and make each garment specifically for you. You get the best of both worlds - an industrial finish of ready-to-wear with the personalized fit of made-to-measure. We will pull out all the stops to get the fit right on your first purchase of each type of garment. Once you are satisfied, next time will be breezy, as we store your custom measurements for future purchases.

We chose deep mercerized cotton cavalry twill because it understands time. The weave brings strength and structure; mercerization refines the cotton, allowing colour to sink deeper and light to move softly across the surface. Garment dyeing introduces nuance and irregularity, while a pigment top adds depth that will shift and fade with wear. This is not fabric designed to look new forever. It’s designed to look right longer.
