Design & Performance
Crafted from a sophisticated blend of 64% polyester, 34% viscose, and 2% LYCRA® elastane, this jacket is engineered for the rigours of daily wear. The fabric is a medium-weight material that offers a substantial feel without being restrictive. The inclusion of viscose provides a soft, breathable texture similar to natural fibres, while the polyester ensures the jacket remains resistant to creases and general wear and tear.
Performance is further enhanced by the addition of LYCRA® elastane. This gives the fabric a subtle stretch, allowing the slim-fit design to move with the wearer rather than against them. This elasticity ensures the jacket retains its shape over time, preventing the sagging or bagging that can plague lesser quality tailoring after intensive use.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The Ariel Slim Fit Jacket serves as an excellent canvas for corporate branding. For a truly refined and executive appearance, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your logo or staff names directly onto the lapel or chest, providing a textured, high-quality finish that withstands regular cleaning.
For organisations requiring larger, more vibrant branding for events or specific promotional roles, high-definition print is also an option. Our in-house specialists, who have been perfecting their craft since 1976, ensure that every application is precise and durable, maintaining the professional integrity of the Brook Taverner garment.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for client-facing roles where first impressions are paramount. It is a staple for hotel receptionists, legal professionals, and corporate office staff. Because it balances a modern fit with traditional tailoring elements, it transitions seamlessly from a formal board meeting to a hospitality setting.

Practical Advice
As this is a 'slim fit' garment, it is designed to be more figure-hugging than a standard fit. If you prefer a little more room for layering over a thicker blouse or knitwear, you may wish to consider this when selecting your size. The centre back length of 55.5cm for a size 12R makes it a slightly shorter, more contemporary cut that pairs exceptionally well with high-waisted trousers or skirts.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and sharp lines of your jacket, it is essential to follow the recommended care protocols. Regular maintenance ensures the fabric remains vibrant and the fit stays true to its original design.
This garment is machine washable, which is a significant advantage for busy professionals. We recommend using a gentle cycle to prevent excessive agitation of the fibres. Avoiding harsh chemical bleaches is vital, as these can break down the polyester and elastane fibres, leading to a loss of stretch and potential discolouration of your embroidered logo.
When drying, it is best to hang the jacket immediately after the wash cycle finishes. This allows the weight of the fabric to pull out minor creases naturally, reducing the need for heavy ironing which, if done at too high a temperature, can create a 'shiny' effect on the polyester blend.
