Why is it called a "Smoking Jacket"?
The smoking jacket, also known as a dinner jacket or a lounge jacket, was originally designed to be worn while smoking tobacco. The history of the smoking jacket can trace back to the 19th century when smoking became a popular pastime among the aristocracy in Europe.
During this time, men would retire to a separate room after dinner to enjoy their cigars and brandy away from women. The smoking jacket was designed to be both a comfortable and stylish garment which men could wear during these informal gatherings.
Arrange the shoes from most formal to least formal.

What is our "linen blends" blended with?
+50 bonus points for explaining why
Our linen blends, mainly the ones from Ferla, are blended with polyamide.
Polyamide offers some strength to the fabrics, and allows the fun/cool weaves that Ferla is so known for, without the stiffness that linen fabrics can have in that thickness. It also makes it crease a little less than pure linen would.
