Leon Short Donegal Tweed Wool

Product description

A short jacket that combines the practicality of a workwear-inspired style with the structure and warmth of a winter outerwear piece. The Leon Short is made of 100% Donegal Tweed wool and features a clean, compact cut with a shirt collar, metal snap-button front closure, and a slightly rounded hem.

The front is characterized by two chest patch pockets with flaps and two lower pockets integrated into the garment's lines. The long sleeves end in button-adjustable cuffs, while the fully quilted interior adds warmth and protection without altering the clean external silhouette.

In the brown version, the tweed develops a deep, natural tone, built upon shades of brown and anthracite. The small multicolored neps, visible especially up close, introduce touches of yellow, blue, rust, and red that make the surface vibrant and irregular. The yellow quilted interior creates a bold contrast with the outer fabric and adds an unexpected chromatic element to the garment.

The character of Donegal Tweed

Donegal Tweed is immediately recognizable for its textured surface and the small fragments of colored fiber, known as neps, distributed throughout the yarn.

These minute irregularities break up the uniformity of the base and create a fabric rich in nuances. From a distance, the color appears solid and deep; looking closely, however, small chromatic accents emerge, making every part of the surface slightly different.

The 100% wool helps give the fabric warmth, texture, and natural elasticity—characteristics particularly well-suited for an outerwear piece designed for daily use during the colder season.

A shorter, more compact Leon

The Leon Short takes the distinctive elements of the model—shirt collar, patch pockets, snap-button closure—but concentrates them into a shorter, more immediate proportion.

The rounded hem, slightly longer at the back, softens the garment’s lines, while the quilted interior adds protection while maintaining a simple and clear external construction.

It is a practical and structured jacket, less formal than a traditional blazer but richer and more textured than a standard sports jacket.

Scottish fabric, Italian craftsmanship

The fabric is made in Scotland, within a textile tradition deeply linked to the processing of wool and tweeds.

The manufacturing takes place in Italy, where the fabric is transformed into the Leon Short through precise and functional construction.

The meeting between Scottish fabric and Italian craftsmanship gives life to a compact and recognizable outerwear piece, in which the texture of Donegal Tweed meets practical details and contemporary construction.
