Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Imola Classic Fit Jacket is a cornerstone of the Sophisticated Collection, designed for professionals who require a formal appearance without sacrificing daily comfort. This single-breasted, three-button jacket offers a timeless silhouette that commands respect in the boardroom or at a front-of-house reception desk. With its classic fit, it provides a more relaxed feel than tailored alternatives, making it suitable for a wide range of body types while maintaining a sharp, structured look.
Key Features
- Three-button front closure: Provides a traditional and secure fit that remains stylish across various professional settings.
- Centre vent: Allows for greater ease of movement and ensures the jacket sits correctly when you are seated, preventing the fabric from bunching.
- Three internal pockets: Offers discreet storage for business essentials, helping you maintain an organised and clutter-free appearance.
- Dedicated mobile phone pocket: Keeps your device secure and easily accessible without creating unseemly bulges in the outer fabric or ruining the jacket's lines.
Design & Performance
The Imola jacket is engineered from a refined blend of polyester, wool, and LYCRA® Elastane. This combination is chosen for its specific performance characteristics. The wool content provides natural breathability and a premium texture, while the polyester ensures the garment is hard-wearing and resistant to the creases that often plague long working days. The addition of LYCRA® introduces a subtle stretch, allowing the jacket to move with the wearer rather than restricting them.
Constructed as a medium-weight garment, it offers enough substance to hold its shape throughout the week while remaining comfortable for indoor wear. The internal construction is as considered as the exterior, ensuring the jacket retains its structural integrity even with regular use in high-pressure environments.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly represent your brand, the Imola jacket is well-suited for high-quality customisation. For a garment of this calibre, we typically recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can apply intricate logos or staff names with a precision that reflects the professional nature of the wool-blend fabric, providing a long-lasting and sophisticated finish.
While print is available for larger, bolder designs, embroidery remains the preferred choice for corporate tailoring to maintain the garment's formal aesthetic. Since 1976, MyWorkwear has been perfecting these techniques in-house, ensuring that every stitch meets our exacting standards before it reaches your team.
Use Cases
This jacket is an ideal choice for management teams, hospitality supervisors, and corporate office staff. Its durability and classic styling make it particularly effective for front-of-house roles where first impressions are paramount. Whether you are navigating a busy hotel lobby or leading a meeting, the Imola provides a reliable, professional uniform solution.

Practical Advice
When selecting your size, please note that the "Classic Fit" is designed to be comfortable and accommodating. For reference, the centre back length for a size 40 Regular is 78cm, providing a standard professional profile. This jacket layers perfectly over a formal shirt and can be paired with matching trousers from the Sophisticated Collection for a complete suit.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the appearance of your wool-blend jacket is straightforward, as this garment is designed to be machine washable. We recommend following the internal care label strictly to ensure the fabric's fibres remain resilient and the jacket holds its shape over time.
Washing at the recommended temperature is vital to prevent the wool from shrinking and to protect the LYCRA® elastane. Overheating the garment can lead to a loss of stretch and may dull the finish of the polyester. After washing, hanging the jacket correctly will help minimise the need for ironing, keeping your professional image sharp with minimal effort.
