Jackets with right and left buttons or, as they are also known, men’s and women’s single-breasted jackets. Fashion can save history in the most subtle details, as detailed as a button.
Whether it’s on the left or the right has already revealed a lot about who wears and presses that button. A rule, a story that suMisura wanted to break.
History buttons
It is a centuries-old rule that jackets and shirts are buttoned on the right for men and on the left for women. As women were traditionally dressed by right-handed aunts (the divine hand), the women’s jacket (buttoned on the left) was the most practical.
For men, right-buttoned jackets were the rule, since independence in dressing came earlier than for women and symbolised the autonomy to dress and button oneself.
We thought to ourselves…
Fashion and bespoke tailoring are made up of rules and traditions, some of which span generations and magnificent periods in history. But fashion also takes on life and personality when rules are broken.
Autonomy is a power that shouldn’t choose genders, orientations or preferences. And buttoning a jacket is not a trivial gesture; it can convey a lot about who we are, what we choose to wear, and discreetly symbolise many moments: a successfully concluded meeting, a deliciously enjoyed dinner, facing a cloudy day, sheltering from a cold day, but one that lies ahead with warm surprises. A button was never just a button.
Tailored jackets with right-hand buttoning
SuMisura knows that when rules are well broken, looks with more personality emerge. And the novelty of this autumn/winter 2022 collection is inspired by the latest requests from our customers and overcoming barriers and dated traditions: right-buttoned jackets for everyone.
Ask our staff for the “right-hand jacket” option, in the selected models of field jacket, chore jacket and trucker jacket, for a more casual or sporty style (which combines comfort with sophistication), and the classic tailored trench coat, perfect for going out in the rain with elegance, in a variety of colours and fabrics that can be combined to your taste and discretion.
Inimitable pieces made stitch by stitch for you. A jacket you can button with the certainty that it’s made to fit you.
