Description

The Chester 055 Grey Herringbone Twill Field Blazer from East Harbour Surplus is inspired by field jackets worn by military personnel as far back as the 1930s, featuring an evolved fit and materials. This garment comes in a medium-weight, sanforized, and washed 12 oz. Herringbone Twill loomed in Italy from cotton/linen dyed yarns blended with silver, offering a sophisticated aesthetic, texture, and drape in a durable cloth that will develop character through wear. This jacket is suited to those inspired by classic menswear, looking for an authentically produced piece crafted from timeless, tested militaria with a modern fit. One of East Harbour Surplus's classic pieces, featuring materials and design reminiscent of the originals, includes a cotton herringbone twill-lined back and body, unstructured construction with 2-button front closure and a buttoned notch lapel, bellow patch chest and lower pockets with flap buttoned closure, a center vent back, and interior welt chest and ticket pockets. Representing workshop production in Italy, the Chester is cleanly crafted with taped seams, single and double-needle construction, bartack reinforcements, and espresso horn buttons throughout. The Chester Grey Herringbone Twill Field Blazer will become that style-forward classic staple that pays homage to historical influences while remaining relevant in contemporary menswear.
