The outside of the jacket is cotton 100% compact gabardine, with a light, silk touch, while the inside is made of vegetal silk sarga at same tone.



Other details that make the Touchpad Jacket practical, but also stylish are a signaling pattern on the sleeve to operate command, adjustable cuffs to avoid air inlet, 2 upper pockets, with internal/external access and 2 lower ones applied.
