Description

The English Dress Hunt Vest by MotivMfg x Division Road is designed as a meeting point between tailored officer riding and dutiful industrial-era workwear vests and is well-suited to be a wardrobe staple for an Original Gentleman. This piece is derived from vest patterns dating back to the Victorian era, re-designed with an anatomically tailored and functional fit, curved front hem, split side seam, darted back, and cinch buckle back waist in a design perfectly balanced between vintage and contemporary. This vest is made in a limited bolt, heavyweight 18 oz. Grey Flannel Tweed in a Twill weave produced at the 200-year-old original Somerset mill by the world-famous Fox Brothers® using the finest 100% British Merino Wool in a worsted, suiting grade fabric engineered for the outdoors. Since 1772, Fox Brothers has produced top-tier textiles used in many applications, from Savile Row tailoring to British Military garments. By sourcing the best fibers from around the world and using intensive hand-driven milling and cording processes, they produce fabrics of the highest grade with comfort, density, and durability, all wrapped into one. This incredibly flexible and robust cloth comes in a natural palette to reflect the Devon coast countryside transitioning into the Exmoor wilderness it's designed to confront. It boasts a complex twill weave using shades of grey, charcoal, and natural yarns for a sophisticated aesthetic and luxurious, textured finish. The English Dress Hunt Vest is designed with a non-collar 5-button front to allow for practical versatility and function in a traditional waistcoat style that is fully finished with a Tencel-lined body for a structured drape with mobility. Paying homage to the originals with sophistication, this vest has beautifully shaped and utilitarian welt front pocketing and is packed with superior bespoke and old-world detailing, bartack reinforcements throughout, and genuine ebony horn buttons with a unique matte finish. MotivMfg has re-established a pattern-to-bespoke garment one-roof workshop in Beijing with the ethos, process, techniques, and materials of Savile Row to produce historically informed garments in styles and production methods lost by the West. We are honored to partner with MotivMfg to offer completely exclusive collaborations for a new and timeless uniform for the Division Road Army.
