Description

The Navy Cotton Canvas Albert Mechanic Jacket by Fortela is inspired by French and American workshop blousons from the 1930s through the 1950s, with a refined fit and detailing. This Jacket is crafted in a medium-weight, 10 oz. Canvas Cloth, milled in Italy by Manteco® from 100% Cotton for a breathable and durable fabric with a crisp hand and flexible structure. In a saturated navy that will improve with age, this evolved workwear-inspired cloth will develop a subtle patina. This garment is suited for any new-classic enthusiast, with improved aesthetics and detailing in an authentic up-production inspired by the timeless original, known for its uniform-dress functionality. Derived from Alessandro Squarzi's renowned archives, this piece features signature elements such as a point collar, a Talon brass zipper with buttoned tab hem closure, buttoned flap patch chest pockets, an interior chest patch pocket, a buttoned tab adjustable hem, and adjustable tab-buttoned cuffs. Drawing inspiration from heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage styles, this classically designed jacket is finished with navy melamine buttons, felled seams, single and double-needle construction, and bartack reinforcements throughout. The Navy Cotton Albert Jacket will become a style-forward heritage hallmark informed by militaria and workwear with a modern fit, designed for the man who balances his current fashion with old-world provenance.
