Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Opera Classic Fit Jacket is a cornerstone of the Sophisticated Collection, engineered for professional women who require a formal garment that does not compromise on comfort. This two-button jacket offers a timeless silhouette that balances traditional tailoring with modern fabric technology. Designed to withstand the demands of a busy working environment, it provides a sharp, authoritative appearance that remains consistent from the first meeting to the end of the day.
Key Features
- Two-button fastening: A classic design choice that provides a structured, professional look while allowing for ease of movement.
- Slanted flap pockets: These offer a traditional aesthetic while providing practical storage for essential items without disrupting the jacket's lines.
- Centre vent: This feature is essential for mobility, preventing the fabric from bunching when seated and ensuring the garment drapes correctly at all times.
- Internal pocket: Provides a secure and discreet location for personal items, such as a mobile phone or business cards.
Design & Performance
The performance of the Opera jacket is rooted in its sophisticated fabric composition. By blending 54% Polyester with 44% Wool and 2% LYCRA® Elastane, Brook Taverner has created a medium-weight garment that offers the best of all worlds. The wool provides a natural feel and breathability, while the polyester ensures the jacket is durable and resistant to creasing. The inclusion of Lycra is a technical detail that provides essential stretch, allowing the jacket to move with the wearer and recover its shape instantly.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To achieve a superior finish for corporate branding, we recommend embroidery for this jacket. Our in-house team in Telford, established in 1976, uses precision equipment to replicate logos with high thread counts, typically positioned on the chest. This provides a permanent, professional appearance that complements the premium wool-blend fabric. While print is available for larger, bolder designs, embroidery is generally the preferred choice for formal tailoring to maintain an executive standard.
Use Cases
This jacket is an ideal choice for front-of-house staff, hospitality management, and corporate office environments. It is specifically designed for roles where a polished image is vital, providing a reliable uniform solution for legal, financial, and administrative sectors.

Practical Advice
The classic fit is designed to be accommodating and comfortable for all-day wear. When layering, we recommend pairing the Opera jacket with a fine-knit blouse or a formal shirt. Because the fabric contains Lycra, there is a degree of flexibility, but for the most professional silhouette, we advise selecting your standard UK tailoring size.
Caring for your product
To maintain the professional appearance and structural integrity of this wool-blend garment, it is designed to be machine washable. We recommend using a gentle cycle to ensure the natural wool fibres are not agitated, which prevents pilling and maintains the fabric's soft handle.
It is important to avoid using bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these can break down the polyester fibres and damage the Lycra, leading to a loss of shape and elasticity. For the best results, the jacket should be hung to air dry naturally. Excessive heat from tumble drying can shrink the wool component and degrade the technical stretch of the fabric.
