Differentiation Strategy
To appeal to the mid-tier market, this version features softer, more natural shoulders, aligning with the trend towards more relaxed tailoring.
The inclusion of patch pockets gives it a more casual, sport coat feel, increasing its versatility for day-to-night wear.
Offering a wider range of seasonal colors and fabrics like linen blends allows the brand to cater to more fashion-forward consumers and seasonal trends.
Success Replication
This specification retains the signature wide peak lapels of the Shelton jacket, which is a key design element that exudes confidence.
It keeps a suppressed waist and a slim fit to maintain the sharp, tailored aesthetic that is central to the original's appeal.
The use of quality materials like wool and cupro lining ensures a premium feel and good drape, echoing the luxury of the Tom Ford brand.
