Product Overview
The Brook Taverner Perdita Double Breasted Jacket is a cornerstone of professional ladies' workwear, designed to provide a sharp, authoritative silhouette without sacrificing day-to-day practicality. Part of the esteemed Eclipse Collection, this jacket features a classic six-button front and a refined tailored fit that ensures your team looks cohesive and professional. It is a garment that balances traditional tailoring aesthetics with the demands of a modern working environment.
Key Features
- Six-button double-breasted front: Provides a classic, structured look that remains a staple of professional business attire.

- Internal jetted pocket: A secure location for discreetly carrying personal items or professional tools.
- Twin front darts: Strategically placed to create a feminine, structured shape that holds its form throughout the working day.
- Rear vent: Facilitates a full range of movement and ensures the jacket sits correctly when seated or moving quickly between tasks.
Design & Performance
The Perdita jacket is constructed from a sophisticated blend of 64% polyester (including 30% recycled materials), 34% viscose, and 2% LYCRA® elastane. This fabric composition results in a substantial, hard-wearing garment that feels soft against the skin while offering the resilience needed for daily wear. The inclusion of LYCRA provides a high level of stretch—approximately 14%—allowing the jacket to move with the wearer, reducing restriction during a busy shift.
Performance is further enhanced by its machine-washable nature. Unlike traditional tailoring that requires expensive specialist cleaning, this jacket is designed for easy maintenance. The recycled polyester content not only aids durability but also represents a more responsible choice for the environmentally conscious business owner.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
To truly represent your brand, this jacket is ideally suited for customisation. We recommend embroidery for this specific garment; a high-definition stitched logo on the chest or lapel provides a permanent, executive finish that perfectly complements the jacket's tailored design. The fabric's weave is stable enough to support intricate needlework without puckering.
For organisations requiring a more contemporary or larger branding application, our technical print services are also an option. Every customisation project is handled by our expert team in Telford, where we have been perfecting our craft since 1976. We ensure that every stitch and every print meets our rigorous quality standards before it reaches your door.
Use Cases
The Perdita jacket is an excellent choice for corporate offices, reception areas, and high-end hospitality environments. It is particularly well-suited for staff in management or front-of-house roles who require a uniform that commands respect. Its durability also makes it a practical option for frequent travellers and professionals in the service industry who must maintain a pristine appearance under pressure.

Practical Advice
The Perdita is a tailored fit garment, which means it is designed to sit close to the body. If your role involves a significant amount of reaching or if you prefer to layer over thicker knitwear, you may wish to consider the flexibility provided by the 14% stretch fabric when choosing your size. A well-fitted jacket should allow you to fasten the buttons comfortably without pulling across the back.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the structural integrity of this jacket is vital for long-term performance. This garment is machine washable, which is a significant advantage for daily workwear. We recommend following the specific temperature instructions on the care label to prevent the synthetic fibres from becoming heat-damaged, which can lead to a loss of the jacket's essential stretch properties.
Avoid the use of bleach or harsh chemical detergents, as these can break down the viscose and polyester fibres, leading to a loss of colour depth and fabric strength. To minimise the need for ironing and to preserve the tailored shape, we advise hanging the jacket on a structured hanger immediately after the wash cycle has finished.
