Smoking Jacket
---------------------
A smoking jacket is an overgarment whose original purpose was to protect a gentleman’s clothing from cigar smoke and ash while smoking to***co, usually in the form of pipes and ci**rs.
Synonymous with gentleman’s comfort at home, the smoking jacket has long been a traditional coat reserved for evening wear in the comforts of your estate as you sip fine port, read your paper and enjoy the pleasantries of a pipe or cigar.
Over the years, the jacket changed the course of men’s style and what was once reserved exclusively for home has now become a style staple of black tie and evening wear for a night in town.
