Heavyweight knit blouson from EMPORIO ARMANI, made in Italy.

Constructed from 100% virgin wool with an exceptionally dense and substantial knit.

The high stand collar with snap closure gives it a strong biker jacket-inspired look, while the double-zip front keeps the silhouette clean and sharp.

The back panel is finished in a stretch wool-blend fabric, adding mobility and comfort despite the overall weight of the jacket.

Unlike many heavy knit jackets, the fabric is tightly constructed and holds its shape very well without sagging or stretching downward.

Finished with Italian-made MERAS hardware.

The cropped, waist-length proportions make it easy to wear with a clean silhouette.

I’ve come across many driver-style and zip-up knit designs over the years, and personally this is one of the best-designed examples I’ve seen.

A very substantial and unusually well-executed piece.
