Zanzibar Herringbone Safari Blazer

Zanzibar Herringbone Safari Blazer 

A refined interpretation of the traditional safari jacket, The Zanzibar Herringbone Safari Blazer brings together relaxed tailoring and the understated confidence of classic old-world menswear.

Cut from a cotton, rayon and wool-blend herringbone fabric, the jacket has a softly textured handle and substantial appearance without the rigidity of formal suiting. Its distinctive herringbone weave gives the surface depth and character, recalling the country tailoring and travel jackets traditionally associated with European gentlemen’s wardrobes.

The structured lapel collar and four-pocket safari configuration lend it a purposeful, masculine silhouette, while the longer cut and softly shaped waist keep the overall appearance elegant rather than utilitarian. Designed to sit comfortably between a blazer and an outer layer, Zanzibar works particularly well for transitional dressing and considered smart-casual looks.

It is the kind of jacket that feels collected rather than fashionable — equally at home over fine knitwear, an Oxford shirt or a shirt and tie.

Styling Cues

Old Money Weekend
Wear it over a fine-gauge cream or oatmeal knit with tailored trousers and dark brown suede loafers. Keep the palette muted and tonal.

Country Club
Pair with an Oxford or poplin shirt, pleated chinos and penny loafers. Leave the jacket casually open for a more relaxed appearance.

European Gentleman
Style with a shirt and understated silk tie, charcoal wool trousers and polished leather loafers. The safari pockets provide just enough informality to prevent the outfit feeling corporate.

Autumn Heritage
Layer over a roll-neck or lightweight cashmere sweater with dark tailored trousers and suede boots. Particularly effective when combining different natural textures.

Relaxed Riviera
Wear with an open-collar shirt, cream trousers and loafers or leather driving shoes for a lighter interpretation of the safari aesthetic.

The Old Money Approach

Keep the rest of the outfit restrained. Zanzibar already carries considerable texture and detailing through its herringbone cloth and four-pocket construction, so it works best alongside plain shirting, fine knitwear, tailored trousers, suede, leather and subtle accessories.

Think heritage tailoring, private-club dressing and well-travelled European style rather than overtly formal suiting.
