What types of Max Mara jacket are there?
Max Mara is a coat house first, and its jackets are built with the same tailoring logic: generous enough to layer, made in fine natural fibres, and in a narrow neutral palette. The range splits into four families.
| Type | Fabrics | Price on Coveti | Key styles |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main line blazers | Camel hair, cashmere, virgin wool, cady | $1,500 to $6,270 | Olimpia, Getti, Bikini, Caro, Flash, Bronte |
| Weekend Max Mara blazers | Stretch wool, corduroy, check wool, velvet | From $670 | Lamine, Katanga, Febo, Attila |
| Leather and suede jackets | Lambskin Nappa, suede, goat leather | $1,170 to $9,560 | Avenue, Bouquet, Cose, Zuppa |
| Down and padded jackets | Water-repellent shells, cashmere, camel hair | From $730 | Clown, Seia, Matassa, Novak |
The Max Mara blazer
The Max Mara blazer is where the house’s coat know-how shows most clearly. Many are cut from the same fibres as the coats. Olimpia is a double-breasted blazer in lightweight zibeline baby camel drap; Getti is a slim cropped jacket in sable-look pure camel broadcloth. Flash is a fitted double-breasted blazer in silk and cashmere, and Bronte and Cloruro are single-breasted cashmere foule. For a more classic wool blazer, Bikini is semi-fitted and double-breasted in lightweight pure woollen cloth with peak lapels, and Caro is a slim single-breasted wool twill with a British feel.
The cady blazers, such as Garza and Palo, are made in a triacetate and polyester crepe that resists creasing. They are the most practical choice for travel and long office days, and they pair with matching cady trousers to make a suit. For the full tailoring picture, read Max Mara trousers and suits.
How to choose: a camel blazer is the most versatile, working with black, white, denim and grey. Navy is the most formal. If you already own a Max Mara coat, choose a blazer that sits comfortably under it; most single-breasted styles do, while the roomier double-breasted shapes suit a wrap coat best.
Weekend Max Mara jackets and blazers
Weekend Max Mara is the place to start if you want a Max Mara blazer for under $1,000. Lamine is a single-breasted blazer in natural stretch pure woollen cloth at $870; Katanga is a double-breasted cotton corduroy jacket; Febo borrows a Prince of Wales check from menswear. Beyond blazers, Weekend makes wool shirt jackets, hooded double wool jackets and bombers. The full line is covered in our guide to Weekend Max Mara coats and jackets.
The Max Mara leather jacket
Max Mara leather jackets are tailored rather than biker-tough. The main line Avenue is inspired by the blazer: slim, slightly cropped, single-breasted, in Nappa leather with an aged burnish finish. Bouquet is a collarless crew-neck jacket in soft natural Nappa with raglan sleeves and domed metal buttons. In Weekend Max Mara, Cose is a loose washed Nappa bomber, Zuppa a zipped suede jacket and Piovra a Nappa shirt jacket, all between $1,170 and $1,360.
A leather jacket wears hardest in spring and autumn. Treat it with a leather conditioner once a season, hang it on a shaped hanger and keep it out of direct heat. Browse every style in leather jackets.
The Max Mara down jacket
For winter warmth without a long wool coat, the Max Mara down jacket comes mainly from Max Mara The Cube. Clown is a short reversible puffer with pure cashmere drap on one side and water-repellent canvas on the other, filled with goose down. Seia is a roomy water-repellent puffer with a drawstring hood. Weekend Max Mara adds Matassa, a short technical satin down jacket, and Novak, a long reversible style. Compare all of them in our guide to womens puffer jackets and Max Mara The Cube.
One more category is worth knowing: the teddy jackets. The Teddy Fabric Biker reworks the teddy coat as a double-breasted biker in camel teddy fabric on a silk base. If you love the Max Mara Teddy Bear coat but want something shorter, this is the piece.
How do Max Mara jackets fit?
Max Mara uses Italian sizing: IT 40 is a UK 8 and US 4, IT 42 a UK 10 and US 6, and IT 44 a UK 12 and US 8. Main line blazers are usually true to size with a close shoulder; take your normal size and check the shoulder seam sits at the edge of your shoulder. Weekend jackets and down styles are cut roomier for layering, so size down only if you want a neat fit over a thin top. For leather, take your usual size, since Nappa softens and gives a little with wear. Our Max Mara size guide has the full chart.
How to wear a Max Mara blazer
- With matching trousers: a cady blazer and cady wide-legs make a suit for work.
- With jeans: a camel blazer, a white T-shirt and straight denim is the easiest weekend outfit.
- Under a coat: a slim single-breasted blazer under a long camel coat is the classic Max Mara office layer.
- Over a knit: a fine cashmere polo-neck under a blazer works from October to March.
