From Office to Outing: Versatile Jackets for Any Occasion
At Oscar Hunt, every piece that we make goes through an extensive development and quality assurance process and this has never been more true than when it came to the introduction of our suede blouson. The result of both popular demand - and our own hankering for something that lent a little more towards the casual end of the spectrum - this classic suede jacket for men was years in the making and has been an instant favourite amongst both clients and team alike.
Here, we give you a breakdown of the quality craftsmanship that goes into each one, alongside some tips on the myriad ways that you can style this highly multi-purpose suede blouson.
Trans-European craftsmanship
Our journey to create our suede blouson jacket starts in Italy with the sourcing of plush Italian goat suede - a highly durable yet tactile fabric that moulds to the wearer over time. From here, the fabric is pieced together by hand in Turkey in very limited numbers before arriving in our showrooms. The painstaking detail that goes into the jacket is evidenced through elements like the slanted hand-warmer pockets and the full cotton blend lining.
A jacket for every occasion
Now, while the above might suggest that this is a precious piece, that doesn’t mean it’s not wearable. If anything, we’re firm believers that this is a style that only gets better the more it’s worn and it’s for that reason that we’ve put together two styling suggestions that showcase the true versatility of the suede blouson.
The weekender
During the weekend, we love sticking with a tried and tested colour palette. For us, this looks like either cream coloured chinos or dark wash denim paired with white and brown accents. In action, this could mean pairing an indigo straight cut pair of jeans with a plain white t-shirt and our chocolate brown men’s suede blouson. Add in a pair of Chelsea boots in brown and you’re ready to roll.
What we particularly love about this ensemble is that the white tee shirt complements that contrast striped ribbing at the base of the jacket, really pulling the whole outfit together.
The after work drinks
We’ve all experienced those occasions where there’s an event after work that calls for something more casual than your work attire but you also don’t want to have to change the entire outfit. Cue the casual suede blouson in midnight navy. Swap out a navy suit jacket for this and lose a tie and you have an elegant yet laid back post-work look that can take you from a gallery opening to a bar to dinner with ease.
