Sky Silk Blend Drape Jacket
Description
A clean, warm tan woven in Italy from 100% wool with a subtle twill construction that gives the cloth a pleasing body and texture without adding weight. At 260g per metre it sits in that ideal middle ground - substantial enough to hold its shape and drape well, light enough to wear with ease. The colour has a freshness to it that works across a long season, and the twill weave adds just enough visual interest to lift it beyond a plain suiting cloth.
About the block
The Drape Jacket is inspired by the slightly softer and rounder jackets Edward first cut at Kilgour in the 1960s. Subtly extended shoulders with soft pads and a rich chest contribute to a jacket feeling supremely comfortable. We like to cut Drape Jackets in smooth gabardine, plush corduroy and heavy Irish linen – cloths that will change the character and improve with age. We also add a second button to our Drape Jackets to help balance their generous chest and shoulder line.
Cloth information
A powdery sky blue with a mottled, light-catching texture that shifts subtly as you move — this is a cloth that earns a closer look. Woven in Italy from 75% wool, 15% silk, and 10% linen, each fibre pulls its weight: the silk gives richness and a dry, smooth luminosity; the linen introduces texture and breathability; the wool provides the structure and recovery that keep the cloth looking sharp. The result is light, refined, and genuinely distinctive.

Made to order garments are based on our ready to wear garment measurements, as seen on our size guide. This option allows you to order an out of stock garment to be created for you specially - without changes to measurements or style. This service is predominantly for existing customers who are familiar with how our garments fit, but require a size that is unavailable or sold out in store.
Standard make time for Made to Order garments is 6-8 weeks, though express options and associated fees are available. For express items, please contact the team.
Made to Measure garments are priced slightly higher than Made to Order and will require a consultation with one of our team. Existing customers can just email us to order a made to measure garment. New customers will require a consultation (in person or digitally). Please email us at info@edwardsexton.co.uk to get the made to measure process started.
