Description

The Dehen 1920 x Division Road Harrison Jacket is made in a heavyweight Forest Green 15 oz. Harris Tweed Check milled with 100% British Virgin Wool. Harris Tweed is produced in the Scottish Isles using a century-old, traditional method where the shear is "dyed in the wool" to allow unique characteristics to be revealed when spinning the yarn and is then woven on a home treadle loom by individual weavers to yield a material completely unique to the roll, weaver, and wearer. This natural wool, made with old-world tradition and outstanding pliability, comes in a weave with a black and deep red check over a Forest Green with a myriad of mixed fibers resulting in a simple pattern with a complex color character. A new Division Road development with Dehen, the Harrison Jacket is a gentleman's outerwear piece inspired by A-2 Bombers from the 1930's onward, to pay homage to Bill Dehen's military service and offer a clean, perfectly proportioned design that's enhanced with a special fabric made for lifelong resistance to inclement weather, making it appropriate in all environments from the backwoods to the battlefield. What is certain to become a signature addition to the Dehen line-up of hand crafted outerwear offerings using the best materials available, this piece is elevated with a point collar, black corozo buttons for the front placket and flap front patch pockets with side hand entry, an interior chest pocket, and is fully lined in Japanese rayon. Finally, the piece is finished with a knit worsted wool ribbed hem and fold back cuffs, all made with Dehen’s own 1940’s weaving machines. Combining excellent fabrics in a perfected heritage-inspired design, this Dehen 1920 x Division Road piece evokes a new-classic spirit by way of the British Isles to become a collectible that can be treasured in its daily use.
