Green Double Breasted Velvet Smoking Jacket
New & Lingwood · £995

Nice, but provisional
Cotton velvet with braided trim and frogged closures, softly deconstructed so it sits like a cardigan rather than a blazer. It is very well made and it is a costume for a specific sort of evening, which is worth saying out loud at £995. Buy it because you want it, not because it fills a gap.
- For
- Someone who hosts, and whose friends would notice and approve.
- Not for

Marked provisional: the justification rests on 1 source(s); two independent ones is the bar. We publish it anyway and say so, rather than waiting for evidence that may never arrive.
