This black and white Alexandre Vauthier oversized single-breasted houndstooth blazer is crafted from cashmere and merino wool. Shaped for a loose fit, it has padded shoulders, peak lapels, single-breasted button fastening, front pockets and a rear central vent. Someone once claimed to own a tailored piece that was smarter than this Alexandre Vauthier blazer. We responded: 'How can it be sharper than a houndstooth?'
