Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Cassino Slim Fit Jacket represents a modern evolution in professional tailoring. Designed specifically for the contemporary workforce, this single-breasted jacket offers a sharper, more refined silhouette than traditional corporate wear. Part of the Sophisticated Collection, it combines heritage textile expertise with modern styling cues, such as a shorter length and slim lapels, ensuring a sleek appearance without sacrificing the formality required in executive environments.
Key Features
- Slim Fit and Shorter Length: Provides a modern, tailored aesthetic that contours to the body for a professional and sharp appearance.
- Single Breasted Two-Button Front: A classic design element that offers versatility, suitable for both formal meetings and everyday office wear.
- Side Vents: These allow for greater freedom of movement and prevent the fabric from bunching when seated, maintaining the jacket's clean lines throughout the day.
- Saddle Stitched Slim Lapels: The inclusion of saddle stitching provides a bespoke, handcrafted finish that signals quality and attention to detail.
- Piano Faced Interior: This high-end tailoring feature ensures the internal structure of the jacket is as refined as the exterior, providing better shape retention and durability.
- Functional Pocketing: Includes a dedicated ticket pocket and slim pocket jets, offering practical storage for essential items without disrupting the slim profile.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a sophisticated blend of 54% Polyester, 44% Wool, and 2% LYCRA® Elastane, the Cassino jacket is engineered for the rigours of daily professional life. The wool component provides natural breathability and a premium texture, while the polyester ensures the garment remains resilient against creases and wear. The addition of elastane is critical, providing a subtle stretch that allows the slim-fit cut to remain comfortable during active use, ensuring the wearer can move freely without the fabric feeling restrictive.
The medium-weight fabric is substantial enough to hold its shape beautifully while remaining light enough for year-round wear in climate-controlled environments. Every element, from the side vents to the internal pocket jets, has been designed to provide a balance of durability and elegance.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To elevate your corporate identity, the Cassino Jacket is ideally suited for customisation. We recommend embroidery for this garment to maintain its professional appearance. A subtle logo or staff name embroidered onto the chest provides a superior finish that integrates seamlessly with the wool-blend fabric. Our in-house team in Telford has been perfecting these techniques since 1976, ensuring that your branding is applied with precision.
While embroidery is the standard for tailoring, high-quality heat-transfer printing can be utilised for internal linings or specific event-based requirements. Our experts can advise on the best placement to ensure your branding remains prominent while respecting the jacket's sophisticated design.
Use Cases
This jacket is an excellent choice for front-of-house staff, hospitality management, and corporate sectors where a professional appearance is non-negotiable. Its modern cut makes it particularly popular in environments that value a contemporary corporate image, such as boutique hotels, legal firms, and high-end retail management.

Practical Advice
As this is a slim-fit garment with a shorter length, we recommend reviewing our size guides carefully to ensure the correct fit across the shoulders and chest. This jacket is designed to be layered over a slim-fit dress shirt; choosing a bulky shirt may interfere with the jacket's streamlined profile. The side vents are basted shut during transit to protect the garment's shape—please remember to snip these threads before wearing.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the structural integrity of a tailored wool-blend jacket requires adherence to specific care protocols. This garment is conveniently machine washable, which is a significant advantage for regular workwear. We recommend using a gentle cycle at the specified temperature to prevent the wool fibres from shrinking and to ensure the elastane does not lose its recovery properties.
Avoid the use of bleach or aggressive detergents, as these will break down the fabric fibres and lead to premature wear and a loss of colour vibrancy. When drying, the jacket should be hung on a broad-shouldered hanger to maintain its shape; avoid tumble drying, as the high heat can damage the internal fusing and piano facing, leading to a distorted appearance.
If pressing is required, use a cool iron and a pressing cloth to prevent 'shining' the fabric, which can occur when heat is applied directly to polyester-wool blends.
