"The fabric is always the starting point," says Albert Kriemler, designer and creative director at Akris.

This jacket is made from high-quality boiled wool a textile technique in which wool fibers are condensed through heat. This gives the fabric a dense, firm structure. At the same time, its fine texture, short boxy fit, and the refined detail at the back hem make it very elegant.

A high-quality classic and a favorite piece for cool weather or layering in the evening.
