A nod to the smoking jacket's opulent origins, our Caversham smoking jacket in green velvet is decorated with beautiful frogging fasteners to create an unmistakably eye-catching look. Historically, the smoking jacket emerged in the 19th century as a luxurious garment worn by gentlemen during and after dinner to protect their clothing from tobacco smoke and ash. The jacket became a symbol of refinement and leisure, often crafted from rich fabrics like velvet and silk, and adorned with intricate details such as brocade, tassels, and braided cords. Our Caversham smoking jacket pays homage to this classic piece of menswear, capturing its timeless elegance while adding a contemporary twist.
