Blazers by van Laack – Tailoring for Business and Leisure
Since 1881, van Laack has stood for craftsmanship that convinces in every detail. Our blazers combine this tradition with timeless elegance and meticulous workmanship that shows in every seam. Whether classically lined for a formal appearance or unlined for greater lightness – every model is designed for a clean drape and high wearing comfort. The result is a garment that performs as well in the office as it does on festive or casual occasions.
Materials and Their Properties
The choice of material determines a blazer's character and range of use. Pure wool and fine merino wool provide an elegant drape and year-round wearability, while new wool is particularly shape-retaining. Linen and lyocell bring lightness and breathability to the warmer months. Distinctive surfaces come from velvet corduroy with its bold retro character, seersucker with its airy crinkle structure, and breathable functional mesh. For its fabrics, van Laack relies on renowned weaving mills such as Loro Piana, which stand for excellent quality and durability.
Fits at a Glance
To ensure a blazer fits perfectly, van Laack offers several fits. The Slim Fit emphasises the silhouette for a modern, slim look, the Tailor Fit sits in a balanced way on the body, and the Regular Fit allows more freedom of movement. You will find a similar logic in our shirts – for example in the Slim Fit shirts and Tailor Fit shirts, which sit harmoniously beneath the blazer.
Styling and Combinations
Many blazers at van Laack are offered as a mix-and-match top: with the matching trousers you can put together a complete suit individually. For formal settings, pairing with a classic business shirt is recommended. In a smart-casual style, a blazer pairs beautifully with a polo shirt or a fine knit piece. This way, a few pieces create versatile looks for the most varied occasions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Blazers
Which fit is right for me?
That depends on your build and the look you want. Slim Fit suits a slim, body-emphasising line, Tailor Fit a balanced fit, and Regular Fit maximum freedom of movement. If you would like to coordinate the fit with your shirt, the Comfort Fit shirts offer the relaxed counterpart.
Which material suits which occasion?
Wool and merino wool are business-appropriate all year round, while linen and lyocell are ideal for warm days and summer occasions. Velvet corduroy and seersucker add fashionable accents for casual or special events. Functional mesh is a good choice when breathability is the priority.
How do I care for my blazer correctly?
Blazers made of wool and fine blended fabrics are best aired regularly and professionally cleaned when needed. A clothes brush gently removes dust, and a hanger with a wide shoulder support preserves the shape. This keeps the clean drape intact for a long time.
