THE BRAND

Montecore has specialised in sartorial outerwear since 2006. Founder Fabio Peroni combines functionality with perfectly crafted design in his creations, relying on exclusive fabrics from the finest Italian mills to ensure that each piece offers a rare and genuine opportunity to express one's personality. In a world of fast outerwear, Montecore is the deliberate opposite.

DETAILS

The Montecore Charcoal Grey Wool Field Jacket is functional outerwear executed in materials that have no right being this refined. Four pockets, a high collar, a concealed hood and a combined zip and button closure. All the utility of a proper field jacket, wrapped in a fabric that carries the full weight of Montecore's sartorial credentials.

The outer cloth is an 85% wool, 15% silk and 5% cashmere blend with a subtle, lustrous sheen that distinguishes the jacket immediately from anything built for function alone. The silk content lifts the charcoal grey into a surface that catches light with a quiet depth, while the cashmere adds a softness and warmth that makes the jacket feel as good to wear as it looks. The padding inside delivers genuine thermal insulation for the coldest days of the year without adding bulk or weight to the silhouette. The kind of warmth that works in the car on a cold December morning and at a dinner table that same evening.

The four flap pockets are generously sized and entirely functional, the high collar closes cleanly against the cold, and the concealed hood adds a practical layer of protection that disappears when not needed. The combination zip and button closure gives the jacket full versatility in how it is worn.

WEAR IT WITH

A cashmere crewneck in navy or camel underneath with tailored trousers and a leather loafer gives the jacket its most considered and complete expression. This is a kind of outfit that works from a cold morning commute to a smart lunch without adjustment. With a pair of jeans and shirt it carries an equally composed but more relaxed character. The charcoal grey sits naturally alongside navy, camel, brown and cream, making it the more open-ended of the two field jacket colourways and the one that moves most effortlessly across the full range of the winter wardrobe.

SIZE & CARE

• Dry clean only
• Store on a wide-shouldered hanger to preserve the shoulder structure and the natural drape of the wool
• Use a soft clothes brush between cleans to maintain the lustrous surface of the cloth
• Keep in a breathable garment bag between seasons
