The blouson, to your measure.
Bespoke blousons for men, in leather, suede, wool or cashmere, avenue Hoche, Paris 8th.
The weekend, the city, travel: your days off deserve the same attention as your days in a suit. Cut to your measurements, your blouson holds the shoulder and follows every movement; its material, from suede to cashmere, is chosen with me at the atelier.

Why a bespoke blouson?
Ease asks for the same precision as elegance. I take more than thirty measurements, standing, seated and with your arms raised: the shoulder stays put at the wheel, the sleeve keeps its length when you reach out. A blouson cut for you changes the way you stand, the way you move, the way you are seen. It is worn over a shirt, a knit or a T-shirt, and carries you lightly through the day.
The luxury of ease. This is the signature of our Relax world: a weekend in the country, travel, an impromptu dinner.

Leather, suede, wool, cashmere: which material to choose?
The material decides the blouson's character, and the season it will live in.
- Leathersupple lambskin or full-grain calf, it takes on a patina over the years and the shape of your gestures.
- Suedevelvety, in tobacco, sand or midnight blue, it brings softness to town dressing.
- Woolflannel, gabardine or tweed, for a blouson worn like a jacket, from the office to the weekend.
- Cashmerethe most enveloping of materials, light and warm, chosen from the swatch books of the great cloth houses, from Loro Piana to Ermenegildo Zegna.
For wool and cashmere, browse our fabrics before you come; leather and suede are decided together, on the day you are measured.

Which cut of blouson suits you?
Four lines cover most tastes; each is then drawn to yours.
-
The bomber
Short, drawn in at the waist by a ribbed band, it gives a young, clean silhouette. In cashmere or wool, it is worn over a roll-neck.
-
The Harrington
Band collar, natural shoulder, flap pockets: the English classic, clean and light, for spring and autumn.
-
The work jacket
Four patch pockets, a shirt collar, a straight line: the most relaxed of the four, in brushed cotton, linen or suede.
-
The leather blouson
Double- or single-breasted, belted or not, cut close enough to the body to keep the line of a jacket.

Which details can you personalise?
A blouson reveals itself in what you touch: the collar that turns up, the zip that glides, the pocket your hand finds. I compose them with you on your avatar, before cutting: band collar, shirt collar or funnel collar; horn buttons, press studs or a zip; jetted, patch or zipped pockets. Inside, a Bemberg or silk lining, plain or printed, a passport pocket, your initials embroidered in the thread of your choice. If you lean towards something dressier, see the bespoke jacket.

How much does a bespoke blouson cost?
A bespoke blouson starts at €750, cloth included. The material affects the price: a cashmere, a velvet suede or a full-grain leather sits higher, depending on its maker and the work involved. You will know the exact price before anything is cut, once the material is chosen. For colder days, the bespoke overcoat takes over.

To go with it: bespoke knitwear, T-shirts and polos
A blouson is also judged by what it lets show. Bespoke knitwear — crew neck, roll-neck, cardigan — follows your build and the length of your arms, so that it slips beneath the blouson without bulk, in cashmere, fine merino or a blend of silk and cashmere. The bespoke T-shirt is set to your length, your shoulder and the girth of your arm: it falls just right, clean beneath the blouson. The polo, in piqué or in silky mercerised cotton, keeps its collar standing under a jacket. With the bespoke shirt, they make up an elegant wardrobe that needs no tie. Their price is set in the salon; to complete the silhouette, see also our bespoke accessories.

Frequently asked questions
What we are asked
How much does a bespoke blouson cost?
A bespoke blouson starts at €750, cloth included. From there the price moves with the material — a cashmere, a velvet suede or a full-grain leather sits higher — and with the lining and finishes you choose. The final price is set with you, at the atelier, material in hand.
How long does a bespoke blouson take?
Three to six weeks from measuring to delivery, as for every piece the house makes, with one fitting at the atelier on avenue Hoche beforehand. If you are leaving on a trip, or giving it as a gift on a set date, tell us that date at the first appointment: we arrange the fitting around it.
Can I order a blouson without a suit?
Yes, a blouson can be your first piece with the house. The measurements taken for it become the basis of your pattern, kept in your name: your next jacket, coat or knitwear will draw on it. If you are already a client, the blouson takes its measurements directly from your jacket.
Do you also make blousons for women?
Yes. Bomber, Harrington or leather blouson, I cut it for a woman on her own pattern, in suede, leather, wool or cashmere, fitted to her shoulders and the length of her arms. The collar, the fastening, the pockets and the lining are composed with her, as for a jacket.
