How does the fit compare with Banana Republic's standard suit jackets?

It is noticeably trimmer. The Signature Italian Rustico is a tailored slim fit, cut close through the chest and waist, while the brand's standard jackets leave more room. If you wear a regular fit comfortably, size up here.

Is it warm enough for cool weather?

No. It is a lightweight tropical wool meant for warm weather and breathable wear. For fall or winter, look for a heavier wool jacket.

What is the jacket made of?

The shell is Italian tropical wool. The front body lining is 58% viscose rayon and 42% organic cotton, and the jacket is fully lined.

Can I machine wash it?

No. It is dry clean only, as is typical for tailored wool suiting.

What details does it have?

A two-button front, notch lapel, long sleeves, single back vent and a below-hip length.

Does it work as a separate with other trousers?

Yes. The solid wool and classic notch lapel let it pair with gray or navy trousers as a blazer, though it is cut to match the Rustico suit trousers.

Our take on the Banana Republic Men's Signature Italian Rustico Suit Jacket

A tailored-slim, two-button suit jacket in Italian tropical wool, cut close through the chest and waist with a notch lapel and single back vent. The lightweight wool and breathable build suit warm-weather weddings, summer workdays and travel. It sits above Banana Republic's standard-fit suiting: trimmer than the brand's classic jackets and closer to a modern Italian silhouette, so it flatters lean and athletic builds but pinches broader shoulders. Owners rate it highly for the fabric and cut.
