(The three-quarter length was more comfortable to drive in than longer jackets.) Our version is made from dense woolen blend, so it can withstand chilly temps. It's cut with a clean, tailored look that's emphasized with a covered placket. And as an added bonus, it's cut to fit cleanly over our signature Ludlow suits.
