Giving something a French name always gives it a touch of class, and bouclé is no exception. So it’s no surprise that NY’s masters of class 3sixteen have decked out their Club Jacket in the fabric for a cozy take on the brand’s classic blouson.
Bouclé — which translates simply as ‘loop’ or ‘curl’ — refers to fabric with a pronounced, bumpy texture created by a series of loops (or curls) within the yarn itself. It gives the fabric not only a killer texture but a buttery soft feel too. 3sixteen’s specific bouclé, made in India, is a touch luxurious, weaving together nylon and sheep, angola, and alpaca wool to really bring that softness to new levels. Combine this with a 100% cotton lining to make it very easy to slip on during the cooler months, and you’re going to be loopy about this jacket.
The jacket oozes classic cool with its inspiration from vintage car club or garage jackets, so it sits cropped a little bit above the waist, with a level of boxiness so you can layer up nicely too. A modern icon reimagined in a first-rate fabric.
Available for $420 from Tendrel.
