Description

The Camel Linen Drill Canvas Owen Safari Jacket by Fortela is inspired by US Army jackets worn by officers and servicemen in the 1930s, as well as safari field jackets, with a refined fit and detailing. This Jacket is crafted in a heavyweight 14 oz. Italian Military Drill Canvas, milled by Manteco® from 100% Linen and enzyme-washed for a worn-in matte finish, natural texture, and structured drape, in a dutiful cloth that will age beautifully. 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 famous archives, it comes with signature elements like a point collar, darted shoulders and body, articulated set-in sleeves, and a double-pleated back with vents for layering and mobility. Speaking to heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage, this classically designed jacket is unlined with oversized bellow patch lower pockets, horn buttons for the front placket, darted cuffs, flap gusseted patch chest pockets, and shoulder epaulettes, and is constructed with felled seams and bartack reinforcements throughout. The Camel Linen Owen Safari Jacket will become that 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.
