Maison Fauve - Calypso Jacket

About the Calypso Jacket

The CALYPSO may be the most versatile jacket in your wardrobe.  

It's ostensibly a classic design, but the details and ability to be achieve different looks make it a great choice.  It has a beautifully crafted collar (which you can take on or off, depending on your style).  The length is perfect, bringing effortless elegance. Its clean lines are enhanced by the addition of patch pockets with flaps and darts.

The features:

• fully lined
• well-defined shoulders thanks to the use of sleeve head strips
• a faux buttoned placket on the sleeve for a resolutely "couture" look without the technical complexity
• the pattern is available as a very feminine gathered back or a minimalist straight back, embellished with a small bib that structures the back line.
