Striped cuff one button blazer in black

Simplee lists it as the one unusual detail on an otherwise classic jacket, and that is a fair description. The body is a standard single-button blazer; the stripe sits at the wrist, where it shows when a sleeve is pushed back or an arm is folded.

The cloth is light and breathable rather than thick suiting, so the jacket keeps a tailored line without the weight behind it. Simplee rates it for spring, summer and autumn, which matches the hand of the fabric: this is an air-conditioned-office layer more than a cold-street one.

Machine washable, or hand wash cold and dry flat in the shade. No bleach. Blazers that need a dry cleaner tend to stay on the hanger, so a jacket that survives a cold wash ends up being worn a lot more often.
