KHAITE Franc Jacket

Product Insights & Style Tips

The KHAITE Franc Jacket flirts with the idea of authority—precision tailoring cut through with just the right amount of softness. Rendered in heavyweight beige crepe, its feel lands somewhere between architectural and inviting, underscored by lightly padded shoulders that supply structure without stiffness. The interior is lined in pure silk, elevating the tactile experience whether worn open or buttoned close. As much as the Franc speaks to classic menswear codes, the cropped, sculpted silhouette keeps the energy sharp and thoroughly now—quiet luxury rendered with a whisper, not a shout.

Sitting above the hips, the Franc contours the body in a way that’s both decisive and forgiving, offering a shape that asserts itself but never overrides what’s layered beneath. Subtle yet strong, the fit works over a form-fitting knit or slips seamlessly atop a crisp tee, and it’s weighty enough to transition through in-between seasons without needing a coat on top. Front buttons allow for flexible closure—single-breasted for a nonchalant look, or fully fastened for more intention. The cropped cut draws focus to the waist, playing well with high-rise denim, silk skirts, or tailored trousers, holding its own from early office calls to gallery evenings after dark.

KHAITE under creative director Catherine Holstein has become synonymous with New York’s modern woman—unapologetically refined with an offhand sensuality. The Franc Jacket, true to KHAITE’s DNA, feels both collectible and endlessly wearable: a study in contrasts that reads strong, feminine, and heightened by the kind of subtle detail the fashion set never overlooks.
