The blazer that announces itself in pattern before it speaks in silhouette.

Les Carreaux

Les Carreaux — the checks, the plaid — is named for the pattern that defines it. A plaid slim-fit blazer in acetate fabric, lined in polyester, with flap pockets and a silhouette that sits precisely between the formal suit jacket and the casual sport coat. Four colourways — Brown, Gray, Khaki, Light Green. Six sizes, M to 4XL. One principle: the blazer that wears a pattern is the blazer that does not need to be worn with anything else to make a statement.

The Pattern

Plaid — les carreaux — is the pattern that has moved through the history of tailoring with the authority of something that belongs there. The check pattern of Les Carreaux is woven into the acetate fabric itself — not printed, not applied, but structural: as permanent as the weave and as precise as the loom that created it. The plaid reads differently in each of the four colourways — in Brown, it reads as heritage and warmth; in Gray, as modern and considered; in Khaki, as earthy and relaxed; in Light Green, as fresh and distinctive. The pattern is the same across all four — the colourway is the decision.

The Fabric

Acetate — acétate — is the semi-synthetic fabric that gives Les Carreaux its drape and its distinction. Acetate is derived from cellulose and carries the visual properties of silk — a natural sheen, a fluid drape, and a surface that catches the light in a way that synthetic fabrics cannot replicate. The acetate construction of Les Carreaux gives the blazer its weight and its movement: the kind of fabric that falls correctly from the shoulder and holds the plaid pattern with the precision it deserves. The polyester lining — doublure polyester — gives the blazer its structure and its ease of wear: smooth against the layer beneath, stable through the body.

The Construction

Slim fit, flap pockets — coupe slim, poches à rabat — is the construction that gives Les Carreaux its modernity. The slim fit follows the body with precision: the shoulder sits correctly, the chest closes cleanly, and the body tapers through the torso with the authority of a blazer that was cut to be worn rather than displayed. The flap pockets — poches à rabat — are the classic blazer pocket construction: functional, finished, and entirely appropriate for the plaid fabric they sit on.

Colour Story

Brown — The heritage colourway. Brown Les Carreaux is the plaid blazer in the warm, earthy tone that reads as considered and timeless. Brown plaid is the combination that has defined the heritage blazer for generations.

Gray — The modern colourway. Gray Les Carreaux is the plaid blazer in the neutral tone that reads as sharp and contemporary. Gray plaid works with every trouser in the wardrobe and every occasion in the calendar.

Khaki — The relaxed colourway. Khaki Les Carreaux is the plaid blazer in the earthy, military-adjacent tone that reads as smart-casual and entirely appropriate for the occasion that requires a blazer without the formality of a suit.

Light Green — The distinction colourway. Light Green Les Carreaux is the plaid blazer for the man who understands that the most considered choice is sometimes the most unexpected one. Light green plaid reads as fresh, confident, and entirely deliberate.

Size Guide

Tip: Les Carreaux is cut slim by design. True to size gives the full slim blazer silhouette. Size up if you prefer a more relaxed fit or if you plan to layer a thick knit underneath. The slim fit reads best when the shoulder seam sits precisely at the shoulder point and the chest closes without pulling.

Care Instructions

• Dry clean recommended — preserve the acetate fabric, plaid pattern, and polyester lining
• If spot cleaning: damp cloth only, blot gently — do not rub the acetate surface
• Do not machine wash — acetate requires specialist care to maintain its drape and sheen
• Store hanging on a padded hanger — preserve the slim fit silhouette and shoulder structure
• Keep away from direct heat and prolonged sunlight — protect the colourway depth and acetate sheen

Styling Note

Les Carreaux is the blazer that leads the look. Wear it over Le Fin or Le Demi for the full Millivan layered approach — the slim fit of Les Carreaux sits cleanly over a slim knit without adding bulk. Wear it over a plain white or black shirt for the most considered single-layer approach. Brown and Khaki work with dark or earth-tone trousers; Gray works with everything; Light Green works best with dark navy or black trousers and clean white or black footwear. Les Carreaux is built for the man who understands that the plaid blazer is not a risk — it is a declaration of taste.
