Private White V.C.'s latest functional garment for demanding gents is a packable, waterproof blazer. The Ventile Combat Travel Blazer from the Manchester-based garment maker is quite a piece. It's made from 100% cotton Ventile with taped seams, and the construction is said to be choice in heavy rains. However, the real selling point for us (outside of the simple, distinct cut and premium oversized RIRI zips) is the blazer's packability. When the weather is good or bad, this Private White item simply works. It's available online in black, navy or olive for $760. While the price is up there, the overall versatile nature of the garment is worth examination.
