PROVENANCE [ THE EMERSON NATURAL WOOL LINEN JACKET ]
The Emerson Jacket draws quiet inspiration from A Room with a View, a film where linen suits, unspoken longing, and sunlit landscapes speak as loudly as words. Its name honours the father and son whose openness of mind and spirit offer a gentle challenge to convention, a sentiment echoed in the jacket’s unstructured ease and thoughtful construction.
Woven in a plainweave wool-linen blend, the cloth recalls the light, breathable tailoring seen throughout the film’s Edwardian travels, garments made not just for appearance, but for comfort in heat, in movement, in life. Its natural tone and airy handle are evocative of hilltop villas, dusty roads, and shuttered Florentine rooms filled with golden light.
The jacket is made by Justo Gimeno, a family atelier in Zaragoza, Spain, with a long tradition of crafting coats and blazers that marry British sensibilities with Spanish distinction. Founded by Justo Gimeno Pradilla after his return from Argentina, the workshop remains dedicated to traditional methods and high-quality materials, passed down through generations.
