Why Stretch Blazers Are the Future of Men’s Tailoring

Why Stretch Blazers Are the Future of Men’s Tailoring

Men’s fashion has gone through a big shift. The days of stiff, uniform suits are long gone. What started with casual Friday slowly became casual every day. In banking, sales, and other industries where the suit was once mandatory, the “uniform” look almost disappeared.

Then COVID hit, and everything changed overnight. For two years men didn’t buy suits — no weddings, no restaurants, no events. Everyone wore sweatpants, hoodies, polos, and when the world opened up again, the mindset had shifted. For the first time, men were saying: “I want to be comfortable.”

Before, comfort was a nice bonus. Post-COVID, it became the number one demand.

The Rise of Jersey Fabrics

That’s where jersey fabrics came in. Unlike woven fabrics, which are built like a tic-tac-toe grid, jerseys are made of interlocking loops. Think of little rings connected together — it gives you a natural 360° stretch.

Of course, turning jersey into a proper blazer isn’t easy. Most jerseys are used for sweaters, hoodies, and sweatpants because tailoring them into structure is complicated. Needles dull faster, patterns move, buttonholes need new techniques. We spent 3 years testing, engineering, and refining until we could finally make a blazer that looks sharp enough for a wedding.

The Livingstone Crosshatch-Style Jersey Blazer is a perfect example of Italian fit tailoring built in stretch jersey, delivering sharp presence and comfort.

Italian Fit With Everyday Comfort

Fit is everything for an Italian; it's what makes us instantly respected by men and especially by women. The Italian pattern has a higher armhole and a slimmer fit around the waist and sleeves that allows freedom for pivoting and a sharper look. In comparison to the American style, where the armholes are cut low to fit everyone, when you raise your hand or sit down, the whole jacket rides up.

For men who want a sharp Italian structure with movement, the Caesar Black Jersey Suit shows you a modern suit and a balance of looking sharp with flexibility.

With jersey fabrics and an Italian fit, you really get the best of both worlds: a gorgeous fitting suit that will turn heads and a garment that still moves with you.

Why Men Are Making the Switch

Men today are constantly moving — professionals, travelers, creatives. That’s why pieces like the Marco Polo blazers are winning over both professionals and creators. The new generation doesn’t want stiff uniforms. Even older clients, who once swore by traditional tailoring, now ask for comfort first.

But here’s the thing: men still need their “superman cape.” A blazer still has power. It’s the one piece that transforms you instantly to a sharp, confident professional. Women know it too. A man in a sharp blazer standing next to a woman in a beautiful dress, it just works. Try showing up in a T-shirt and flip-flops and you’ll look out of place… unless you’re Bieber.

That’s exactly why stretch blazers are where men’s fashion is headed. They still carry the presence and sharpness of tailoring, but now with the comfort guys actually want in everyday life.
