Description

The De Bonne Facture Anthracite Prince of Wales Check Cold Wool Student Jacket is part of a soft-tailoring collection inspired by the connections between fine art, music, academia, and literature as seen in the style of the most prominent culture creators from the 1950s through the 1970s. With a focus on sustainability through natural fibers and production techniques that connect the garment to the landscape, this Student Jacket is made from a super-fine 14 oz. Cold Wool Cloth milled in Italy using mulesing-free Merino Wool from ethically raised sheep in Australia and New Zealand. To create a vintage aesthetic with pure provenance, this all-season tailoring cloth balances modern and traditional elements, featuring a tonal charcoal and midnight Prince of Wales Check loomed with high-twist 4-ply yarns that provide durability and drape. With a minimalist design approach inspired by vintage fashion, each element carries thematic consistency and purpose with details like a point collar with a RIRI® two-way zipped front closure for styling flexibility and functional versatility, set-in sleeves and a classic silhouette that allow for movement and layering, full cotton lining for a luxurious and finished feel, a zipped interior patch chest pocket, along with concealed snap flap front patch chest and side seam lower hand pockets for clean, functional convenience. Additionally, the snap tab adjustable back hem and adjustable snap gusseted cuffs provide rich fit refinements. Paying homage to the classic, campus-correct jackets from the 60s-70s with a contemporary design, this piece is atelier made in Pantin, France, by outerwear specialist M. Erbas, which provides the soul of fine regional craftsmanship. 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 a historical approach to a forward-focused look, the Anthracite Prince Of Wales Check Student Jacket adds polished execution to any casual luxury ensemble for the campus, event, or excursion.
