The Roving
DESCRIPTION
Revealing The Roving, our sartorial over shirt. With four pockets, including two inset chest patch pockets in our signature trapezoid shape, this shirt jacket pays homage to vintage workwear—the utility shirt, the chore jacket—but with a European, understated feel. The oversized, inverted V-shaped yoke is decidedly not western.
The Roving is hand-cut and sewn in three-season .6MM calf suede at a woman-owned factory in Tuscany, Italy. Made from our full-grain, proprietary skin, the body is left unlined for easy movement. The sleeves are lined so it can be easily worn over a shirt or sweater. The inside of The Roving is as much a work of art as the outside—it isn’t reversible, but the leather grain is breathtaking and even better, meant for your eyes only. Its low-profile welt pockets are subtly positioned above the curved hem to give it an elegant profile that sits right at the seat.
The Roving boasts a clean, eleven stitch-per-inch finish and flawless cutting and sewing. What’s new? A box-like stitch detail designed to give every hand-sewn button its own signature square. With buffalo horn buttons made in England, hand-stitched, horn backing buttons, and an extra buffalo horn button in our signature pouch. In Astor Blue and Eggplant Wedgewood Suede.

Behind The Process
There’s not one part of our process that doesn’t have the Savas stamp of attention to detail.
This spans everything we do in our construction (material, fit, style, function). And these are our cornerstones, our guiding lights. Our diligence in these domains make our quality what it is and the experience of our pieces one of art and of technical mastery.
Evolution and inspiration are the currents that run through our construction, with a bold base of quality over everything.
Material is our leather, common-sense sustainably sourced, the quality of our hides, the way we stretch our leather, how we process it. The way we’re constantly innovating. Discovering new dyes and ways to stretch ourselves and our artistry.
Fit is never compromising or cutting corners.
Style is how we create pieces that seem defy eras and age to become an extension of you that remains yours for life.
