Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Calvi Slim Fit Jacket is a meticulously tailored piece from the Sophisticated Collection, designed specifically for the modern professional. This short, two-button jacket offers a contemporary silhouette that prioritises both style and comfort in a corporate environment. With its cutaway front and slim notch lapels, it provides a sharp, streamlined appearance that distinguishes it from more traditional corporate wear.
Key Features
- Slim Fit with Two-Button Closure: Creates a modern, fitted aesthetic that maintains a professional profile throughout the working day.
- Jetted Pockets: Provides a clean, minimalist look without the bulk of traditional flap pockets, ensuring the lines of the jacket remain crisp.
- Front Breast Darts and Tailored Back Panels: These structural elements ensure the garment conforms to the wearer's shape, providing a superior fit that moves with you.
- Internal Storage: The inclusion of an inside pocket allows for the discreet storage of essential items like business cards or a mobile phone without affecting the outer drape.
- Wool-Rich Blend: The combination of high-quality wool and technical fibres ensures a premium feel that remains breathable and durable.
Design & Performance
The construction of the Calvi jacket relies on a sophisticated fabric blend consisting of polyester, wool, and a touch of LYCRA® Elastane. This combination is engineered for performance; the wool provides natural temperature regulation and a soft hand-feel, while the polyester ensures the jacket is resilient against the rigours of daily wear. The addition of LYCRA® provides essential stretch, allowing for a slim fit that does not feel restrictive when reaching or sitting.
The short length—measured at 55.5cm for a size 12R—further enhances the modern feel of the garment, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a more cropped, energetic look compared to standard-length blazers. The plain back keeps the design uncomplicated and professional.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly represent your brand, the Calvi jacket is well-suited for high-quality customisation. Embroidery is the preferred method for this wool-rich fabric, offering a refined and permanent finish. Our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos or staff names to the chest or lapel, creating a professional appearance that conveys authority and attention to detail.
While print is more commonly associated with casual wear, our experts can advise on specific printing techniques if your branding requires larger, bold graphics. Having provided customisation services since 1976, we ensure that every application respects the integrity of the garment’s tailored finish.
Use Cases
This jacket is ideally suited for front-of-house roles, corporate hospitality, and office environments where a polished image is essential. It is particularly effective for legal or financial services teams who require a uniform that balances contemporary fashion with traditional professionalism.

Practical Advice
The Calvi is a slim-fit garment, so we recommend reviewing the sizing carefully to ensure a comfortable fit across the shoulders. Because of its shorter length, it pairs exceptionally well with high-waisted trousers or skirts to create a balanced, professional silhouette. For a complete corporate look, layer it over a crisp, fine-gauge shirt.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and professional appearance of your jacket, it is important to follow the care instructions provided. This garment is machine washable, which allows for easier maintenance compared to dry-clean-only alternatives. We recommend a gentle cycle to prevent the wool fibres from matting and to preserve the shape of the tailored panels.
Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these can break down the elastane fibres, leading to a loss of stretch and recovery. Always hang the jacket on a shaped hanger after washing to allow it to air dry naturally; this helps the fabric settle and reduces the need for heavy pressing, which can leave shiny marks on wool-rich fabrics.
