Description

The De Bonne Facture Harris Tweed Brick Red Houndstooth Geography Teacher Jacket is a hallmark piece in the soft tailoring collection inspired by Carl Sagan's academic style as a professor, explorer, and scientist that represents the numerous experts and visionaries who have fought for the future of our ecosystem. With a focus on sustainability and connecting the garment to the landscape, this Casual Jacket is made from a 14 oz. Harris Tweed® home treadle loomed in the Scottish Isles from 100% British Virgin Wool using a traditional method for over a century where the shear is "dyed in the wool" to allow unique characteristics to be revealed when spinning the yarn in this brick red, forest green, charcoal, rust, and tan palette. To create a vintage aesthetic with pure provenance, De Bonne Facture utilized this houndstooth woolen tweed unique to the roll, weaver, and wearer, providing a classic texture and casually elegant drape. With a minimalist design approach inspired by vintage fashion, each element carries thematic consistency and purpose in this unlined jacket with a notch collar, a 3-button front with a single piece back, a patch chest pocket paired with lower flap patch pockets and an interior chest pocket for daily function, and is finely finished with taped seams and high-character genuine horn buttons. Paying homage to the classic sartorial style of Sorbonne professors, this piece is atelier made in Pantin, France, by outerwear specialist M. Erbas, which provides the soul of fine regional craftsmanship and, when combined with the authenticity of fully traceable natural materials, the yield is an artisan piece for the timeless wardrobe of the contemporary fashion connoisseur. Featuring premium materials and production with an historical approach to a forward-focused look, the Harris Tweed Houndstooth Geography Teacher Jacket will add polished execution to any casual luxury ensemble for the office, event, or excursion.
