✓ Free shipping included on every order
Some textures you recognize before you even touch them. This is one of those pieces.
St. John has spent decades perfecting a single idea: that knitwear can be as authoritative as tailoring. Their boucle weave — high-relief, architecturally textured, unmistakably American luxury — became a wardrobe shorthand for boardrooms, galleries, and every serious occasion in between. This jacket is that tradition, preserved.
A multi-fiber boucle blend of 35% wool, 31% rayon, 16% polyamide, 8% acetate, 6% polyester, and 4% cotton gives the fabric its signature weight and dimensional texture. The colorway is ivory and black — a combination that reads as both sharp and effortless. The open-front silhouette drapes rather than structures, making it as easy to layer as it is to wear alone. Condition is excellent: no visible snags, no damage, all original details intact. As St. John itself notes, the specialized boucle construction may naturally develop small openings with extended wear — a mark of the weave's character, not a flaw. Size 14.

Worn over a silk blouse and wide-leg trousers, this jacket carries the room quietly. Thrown over a simple black dress, it becomes the only thing you need. A few pieces don't ask to be styled — they do the work themselves. This is one of them.
