Collaborations and Releases with MotivMfg, Gitman Vintage, and Crockett & Jones
This week, we have a collection honoring timeless tailoring, apparel, and footwear, accentuating effortless elegance with subtle details that speak sophistication instead of screaming extravagance. Coming in nature’s neutrals, we bring you a collaboration capsule with MotivMfg, spring-summer weight shirting exclusives from Gitman Vintage, and the Scotch Grain icons from Crockett & Jones for a firm foundation to tasteful ensembles. This complete assembly of footwear, outerwear, suiting, and shirts provides multi-occasion coordinates for modern fits through a vintage lens.
MotivMfg x Division Road
Per usual, this collaboration drop with MotivMfg speaks to the interplay between material and design. By taking enigmatic global influences from various eras and infusing them into original creations, sourcing the finest materials from the cloth to trim, and crafting at the top tier of tailoring, MotivMfg produces unmatched style artillery. This collection brings a wholly new French Air Force Zephyr Jacket in a French Glazed Lambskin for a fashion-forward piece that hallmarks the vintage treasure it will become.
The French F-2 Fatigue Jacket returns from the archives in a rich, dark brown heavyweight Irish Linen Broadcloth from Spence Bryson® for a draped military-meets-safari jacket. Then, we have a casual-meets-dress three-piece suiting ensemble in Woolmark’s Optim® Wool, a waterproof suiting-grade gabardine twill woven from undyed Merino fibers for technical, dutiful, and tailored pieces to traverse time and territory.
Gitman Vintage x Division Road
From our good friends at Gitman, we bring you a neutral palette of fabrics great for the current season, enhanced with our stylemark detailing for shirting that will serve as staples and styling material for years. The Japanese loomed Black Summerweight Denim is a deep charcoal color washed for softness and drape, produced with our signature 2.5” button-down collar for a modern presence.
The Japanese Cotton/Linen Slub Chambray comes in a speckled birds-eye Charcoal and burnt nutmeg Brown in our Camper Shirt pattern using the rare undercollar button-down, back pleats, and dual button-through chest pocketing to give an outdoor vibe to this textured, substantial plain weave that will dress up and down across various style profiles with elegance and ease.
Crockett & Jones
We have a restock on iconic Crockett & Jones styles with the signature Scotch Grain Coniston and Pembroke that have a go-anywhere, do-anything attitude for those who only wear the best regardless of the event, excursion, or excuse. Coming on the trademark 325 Last with a military dress shape and a sleek, slightly elongated toe and moderate forefoot, waist, and heel, these styles boast a commanding yet cultured form with a dutiful nature.
The Crockett & Jones exclusive Scotch Grain uses the finest European calf hides in a combination vegetable re-tannage printed with a proprietary pebbled grain design from the 1920s and is finished with a subtle burnishing to yield a distinguished leather that’s durable, flexible, and will evolve with a sophisticated patina. Both styles have a refined countryside disposition, which is furthered by corresponding tonal storm welts and midsole finishing, along with the low profiled Dainite sole ideal for formal to casual occasions and wet to dry conditions, firmly making these Coniston’s and Pembroke’s grails for the collector or minimalist alike.
