LJ struthers : velvet cotton sonnet jacket
The sonnet jacket is a longline piece with a simple, unstructured opening and two side inseam pockets. Its generous cropped sleeves have deep cuffs which we like to fold back, keeping the silhouette unrestrictive and dynamic. At the back of the jacket, a crescent yoke with a pleat detail creates gently gathered volume for easy movement.
Please refer to the measurements for length and if you prefer a more cropped profile, try our shorter haiku jacket.

LJ struthers
LJ struthers clothing is informed by insistence on comfort, commitment to craftsmanship, and the joy of self-expression we can all experience through dress. Life and work in different regions of Japan inspired Leonie to translate some of the traditional principles of Japanese design for an Australian context. Timeless, sculptural silhouettes are ideal for layering, while disciplined lines and simple shapes invites creative collaboration with the wearer. Textiles of extraordinary quality are at the heart of the label, and every style is cut and constructed in Hobart with due care, creating garments to enjoy for years to come.
