Description

The Dehen 1920 x Division Road Pilot Jacket is made from a limited, specially sourced Irish Donegal Brown Abraham Moon® 18 oz. Kilcarra Tweed Heritage Overcoating cloth, using premium 100% Irish Shetland Wool in a traditional plain weave with a worsted, brushed finish that will combat the elements, offering pronounced texture, natural elasticity, and a sophisticated aesthetic. Dating back to 1837 and one of the few remaining vertical mills in the UK, with all processes from raw materials to finishing occurring in-house, Moon produces this premium Irish Tweed Heritage Overcoating article with authentic Kilcarra Tweed slub yarns spun in Donegal, Ireland, in the natural brown shades of the shear from local Shetland sheep, and woven in a naturally speckled palette perfect for scouting a city and trekking the outdoors. This Pilot Jacket is based on a new Dehen jacket pattern and is inspired by early iterations of the MA-1 Flight Jacket and Tanker Jackets from WWII, paying homage to Bill Dehen's military service through a clean, stylistically versatile, and perfectly proportioned design. This jacket is enhanced with an exceptional fabric crafted for lifelong resistance to inclement weather, making it suitable for all environments, from the backwoods to the battlefield. A timeless addition to Dehen's handcrafted outerwear offerings, this piece elevates the original with a worsted-wool ribbed stand collar, a brown corozo button front closure, slant welt hand pockets, an interior welt pocket, and is fully satin-lined in the body and sleeves. Finally, the Pilot Club Jacket is finished with a heavy-gauge worsted-wool knit ribbed collar, hem, and cuffs, made with Dehen's 1940s weaving machines. Combining exceptional fabrics with a perfected heritage-inspired design, this Dehen 1920 x Division Road piece evokes a new-classic spirit, drawing inspiration from the British Isles to become a collectible that can be treasured through daily use by those inspired by street, outdoor, or military wear.
