The Material Boy #370

Below: The ultimate travel blazer... Dunhill's Navy Double Breasted Camdeboo Mohair Blazer. No more time wasted on pressing during your trips...

Dunhill Navy Double Breasted Camdeboo Mohair Blazer

What if you can bring a jacket anywhere you go... stuffed and rolled inside your luggage for the long haul, but almost amazingly devoid of creases when you take it out to wear?

Can there be such an 'wardrobe miracle' in existence? Yes it does! Dunhill's Navy Double Breasted Camdeboo Mohair Blazer is ultimate jacket made for the wanderlust. Combined with decades of sartorial expertise in tailoring, this double breasted blazer has an impeccable cut while being empathic to the wearer's comfort. Made from Camdeboo mohair, the material is lightweight (no 'excess' bagagge!) and crease resistant, making it well suited on your body as well as inside your suitcase. Natural mohair also keeps you cool and the loose hand stitched interlining ensures optimal form-fitting comfort.

And to top things off, it comes in a smart Navy colour which is the most adaptable hue whether you are in the boardroom or lounge room. Double breasted design is classic and a key menswear trend for this season too.

The perfect garment? Almost. An Amazing investment? Most definitely.
