Fitted Balloon-Sleeve Wool Jacket
Fitted Balloon-Sleeve Wool Jacket
A short black wool jacket shaped close through the body and released entirely at the sleeve, handcrafted in Warsaw from Italian cloth. Princess seams draw the waist without constricting it; the sleeve rises from a curved shoulder into full balloon volume, then narrows again at the wrist. The standing collar closes high, holding the neckline upright. Flap pockets sit at the hip, breaking the line where the body ends. The contrast between the fitted torso and the sleeve is the whole idea — everything else stays quiet.
Ending at the hip is what separates it from the coat cut on the same pattern. It layers over tailoring without adding length, and it works in the city across most of the year rather than only in the cold.
Autumn through mild winter, worn over a knit.

DETAILS & CARE
Designed and handcrafted in Warsaw, Poland
The jacket is cut from a virgin wool blend and finished with a full viscose lining. To keep its line, its softness and its structure for years, we recommend the following.
Clean only when needed
A wool jacket does not need frequent cleaning. For a full refresh, professional dry cleaning preserves the shape and the finish.
Blot small marks first
For small marks, blot gently with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid rubbing. If a cleanser is needed, choose a mild one and test it on an inside seam first.
Air between wears
Hang the jacket after wearing and let it breathe in a ventilated space, away from direct sunlight.
Brush for dust
A soft natural-bristle garment brush lifts dust and keeps the wool crisp, and helps prevent pilling from setting in.
Steam to restore the silhouette
Light steaming is the gentlest way to release folds, especially around the balloon sleeves. Avoid direct ironing on the outer fabric.
Support the shape when storing
Use a structured hanger that fills the shoulder line, so the sleeve volume and the fitted waist keep their shape between wears.
Store with intention
Out of season, store it in a breathable garment bag — never plastic — in a cool, dry place.
Protect the lining
Avoid soaking and never tumble-dry. Heat and agitation distort the outer fabric and the lining alike.
Wool is made to be lived in — the more thoughtfully you care for it, the more beautifully it holds its presence.

FAQ
Does the sleeve volume limit movement?
No. The fullness sits from the shoulder to the wrist, so the arm moves freely inside it — the shape holds without restricting reach.
How is it different from the Balloon-Sleeve Coat?
The same cut in two lengths. The jacket ends at the hip and layers easily over tailoring; the coat runs full length and carries further into winter.
Is it warm enough on its own?
Yes for autumn and mild winter over a knit. The wool has body and the full lining adds warmth.
How does it fit through the body?
Close but not tight — shaped with seams rather than darts, so it follows the waist without restricting movement.
Can it be worn over tailoring?
Yes. It ends at the hip, so a blazer or a shirt sits underneath without the line breaking.
What fabric is used?
87% Italian virgin wool with 13% polyamide, fully lined in viscose.
Where is it made?
Designed and handcrafted in Warsaw, Poland, in limited quantity.
Does the wool pill?
Wool blends soften with wear. Occasional brushing keeps the surface clean and prevents pilling from setting.
How should I care for it?
Professional dry cleaning, and light steaming around the sleeves rather than ironing. Full guidance is in Details & Care.
When will it arrive?
Most pieces are made to order. We require up to 10 working days to produce and ship each item.
