Taking inspiration from the world of art and the craft of the artisan, the collection features hand-painted contrasting colour details. These Tod’s summer jackets for men epitomise the emphasis placed by the house on fine details and excellent engineering. Fabrics and materials are of the best quality, buttons are in horn and characterised by the Tod’s logo, zips are in brushed metal, and interior pockets provide practical places for the storage of wallets and mobile phones.

 

 

When it comes to clothing, the emphasis is on a series of adaptable jackets. A blue suede field jacket – the Field Jacket Art Colour – velvety and lightweight, features white stripes over seams and pocket borders, which are applied by hand with water colour paint once the garment has been finished. Horn buttons and an internal brushed-metal zip provide a double closing mechanism, while shirt-style cuffs add a point of difference.

Similarly, the brown Pilot Jacket Painting is also distinguished by hand painting. Composed of stretch leather, a special material, smooth to the touch, this lightweight leather jacket with notch lapel and bellows pockets is inspired by the military world.

 

 

A sporty, khaki-green cotton-linen field jacket with five front pockets and horn buttons personalised with the Tod’s logo is completely unlined (apart from the pockets, which are lined in 100% cotton).An internal nylon drawstring at the waist allows for a waisted silhouette. This model, called the Field Jacket – Military Cotton, does not feature hand painting, but instead offers a more classic look.

 

 

 

 

All three of these jackets are versatile outerwear pieces that can be worn on a wide variety of occasions, both in the city and in the country, and on weekdays or weekends. A final style – the Washed Blazer – is more urban, a three-button, cotton-denim jacket. Blue, sporty, with a notch collar, two front pockets, horn buttons personalised with the Tod’s logo, visible stitching and a double vent at the back, it is a highly useful piece in any modern man’s wardrobe, smart enough for work, but relaxed enough for leisure.
