Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Libra Slim Fit Jersey Stretch Jacket represents a modern shift in professional attire, successfully bridging the gap between formal tailoring and all-day comfort. Designed specifically for the female form, this jacket offers a contemporary slim fit that maintains a sharp, professional silhouette without the restrictive nature of traditional woven blazers. The jersey construction provides a soft, tactile finish that remains smart from the start of the shift until the end, making it an excellent choice for dynamic work environments where appearance and mobility are equally valued.
Key Features
- Two Integrated Patch Pockets: These provide practical storage for essential items such as ID badges or smartphones without disrupting the clean lines of the garment.
- Topstitch Detail Seams: This specific stitching technique reinforces the structure of the jacket while adding a subtle, decorative finish that highlights the quality of the construction.
- Plain Cuff with Vent: The inclusion of a cuff vent allows for greater ease of movement in the arms, ensuring the sleeves do not feel tight when performing desk-based or customer-facing tasks.
- Plain Back Design: A clean, minimalist back ensures a sleek profile and makes the jacket easier to layer under heavier outerwear when required.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Libra jacket is rooted in its sophisticated fabric composition. By blending 67% Viscose with 29% Polyamide and 4% Elastane, Brook Taverner has created a medium-weight jersey that offers exceptional recovery. The viscose provides a smooth, breathable feel against the skin, while the polyamide adds significant durability to withstand the rigours of daily wear.
The inclusion of elastane is critical for the slim-fit design; it allows the jacket to contour to the body while providing four-way stretch. This means you can move freely without the fabric pulling or losing its shape over time. It is a well-engineered garment that handles the demands of a busy workplace while maintaining its professional integrity.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
The smooth jersey surface of the Libra jacket serves as an ideal canvas for corporate branding. For a truly professional appearance, we recommend embroidery. Our Telford-based team can expertly stitch your company logo or staff names directly onto the garment, providing a high-quality, textured finish that withstands regular laundering.
If your branding requires larger, more vibrant graphics, our precision printing services are also available. Whether you choose the tradition of embroidery or the clarity of print, all customisation is handled in-house by the MyWorkwear team, drawing on nearly five decades of expertise established since 1976.
Use Cases
This jacket is perfectly suited for corporate office environments, front-of-house hospitality roles, and professional service sectors where a formal yet approachable look is required. Its stretch properties also make it a sensible choice for professionals who travel frequently or spend long periods in transit, as the jersey fabric is naturally more resistant to the creasing often found in traditional suiting.

Practical Advice
As this is a slim-fit garment, we recommend reviewing your measurements carefully to ensure the desired profile. The jersey stretch does allow for some flexibility, making it a comfortable layer over lightweight blouses or fine-knit tops. For a cohesive team look, consider pairing this with other items from the Brook Taverner Jersey Stretch collection.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and the stretch characteristics of your Libra jacket, it is essential to follow the machine washing instructions provided. Regular laundering at the recommended settings will help remove everyday oils and dust that can otherwise degrade the fabric fibres over time.
Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches, as these will break down the elastane and polyamide fibres, leading to a loss of shape and potential discolouration. When drying, ensure the garment is handled carefully to prevent unnecessary stretching while damp, which helps preserve the tailored slim fit for the life of the jacket.
