Bespoke Jacket

There is one piece in your wardrobe that, on its own, can transform any outfit into something elegant. That piece is the jacket.
Worn over jeans, it dresses up. Over suit trousers, it structures. Over a simple white t-shirt, it asserts. The jacket is the most versatile tool in the male wardrobe — and the most revealing of the attention you pay to your appearance.
At L'Atelier Hoche, we create fully bespoke jackets for all body shapes and all occasions — from the classic navy blazer to the Irish tweed sport jacket, from the smart odd jacket to the formal evening coat.

The Styles We Master

The Classic Blazer

The absolute reference. Navy, charcoal, burgundy or black — the bespoke blazer is the most cost-effective piece of your sartorial investment. Versatile, it pairs equally well with grey flannel trousers and selvedge jeans. Its cut must be impeccable. Ours is.

The Sport Jacket

More relaxed than the blazer, more refined than a casual jacket. The sport jacket is typically crafted in patterned fabrics — herringbone tweed, Prince of Wales check, checked flannel, houndstooth, gunclub check. It pairs with plain trousers for a perfect odd combination.

The Odd Jacket

The art of the mastered mix. A patterned jacket over plain trousers, or a plain jacket over textured trousers. The odd combination is the most personal expression of masculine style. We guide you through the pairings, contrasts and balances.

The Unstructured Jacket

Light, supple, deconstructed. Without rigid canvas, worn directly over a shirt or a jumper. The comfort of casual with the precision of bespoke.

Women's Tailored Jacket

Built to the same standards — full or half canvas, crafted shoulder, precise drape — but conceived for the female silhouette and style.

The Three Jacket Constructions

English Style: Padded shoulder, strong structure, notch lapels, double vent — for athletic builds, authority looks

Italian Style: Soft Neapolitan shoulder, V-shaped waist, wide lapels — for slim builds, modern fluid elegance

Hybrid Style (Atelier Hoche Signature): Softened English shoulder, moderate waist, French refinement — all body shapes, maximum versatility

Every Detail Is a Style Decision

Lapels: Notch lapel — universal classic · Peak lapel — assertive elegance · Shawl lapel — evening, dinner jacket

Buttons: 1 button (modern, elongated silhouette) · 2 buttons (perfect balance) · 3 buttons (British classic) · Double-breasted 4 or 6 buttons (presence, authority)

Pockets: Flap (elegant classic) · Jetted (formal, understated) · Ticket pocket right side (English style) · Breast pocket (indispensable)

Vents: None (strict formal) · Single centre · Double English (freedom of movement)

Sleeves & Buttons: Working buttonholes (surgeon's cuffs) — a sartorial detail appreciated by connoisseurs · 3 or 4 buttons as preferred

Lining: Plain, printed, personalised — the lining is the secret of your jacket. Visible only when you remove it, it is the space where your personality expresses itself most freely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between a blazer and a suit jacket?

A: A blazer is designed to be worn alone, without matching trousers. A suit jacket is part of a coordinated ensemble. Blazers often use a more durable fabric; suit jackets are in finer fabric, matched to the trousers.

Q: Can an existing jacket be altered to fit better?

A: We can carry out alterations on existing jackets. Certain modifications have technical limitations (shoulder width in particular). An evaluation appointment determines what is feasible.

Q: Do you make jackets for special events?

A: Absolutely — ceremony jackets, dinner jackets, frock coats, formal jackets for all occasions
