John LewisSuper 100s Wool Check Regular Fit Suit Jacket, Navy Check, 38R

You've probably seen the phrase Super 100s a lot while shopping for suits. It's a measure of how fine the wool is, with a higher number translating to a finer wool which will feel softer and smoother to the hand. You can expect that fine feel from this THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED suit, along with the breathability that natural fibres like wool are known for.

The world has changed a lot in the last few years, and dress codes are no longer what they used to be. However, there are still plenty of occasions in life when only a sensible suit will do.

For lapels we have chosen notched rather than the more flashy peaked design. The front fastening is two buttons, de rigueur for modern suit jackets (remember to only ever fasten the top button though). The shoulders have a slight softness in their shape, somewhere between a classic and casual Italian cut and a traditional British one.

Just because this is a 'sensible' suit doesn't mean it's stuffy to wear. The 100% wool was chosen for all-day comfort, and it's fully lined in navy soft blend with a piano-facing lining (named for the effect of the lining curving around the internal pockets like the curve of a grand piano). The wool features a check pattern, a small-scale weave that is not obvious at first glance but adds a touch more texture to the cloth.

Matching trousers are available to complete the look.
