Description

The Brown Wool Twill Saharan Jacket by Fortela is inspired by US Army jackets worn by officers and servicemen in the 1930s, and safari field jackets with a refined fit and detailing. This Jacket is made from a 16 oz. Wool Twill milled by Manteco® using mulesing-free 100% Pure Virgin Wool from ethically raised sheep in a completely verifiable sourcing chain. This twill is woven with shades of brown to khaki yarns and is lightly brushed to a soft, flannel finish for a durable and character-rich woolen. This garment is suited for any new-classic enthusiast with an improved aesthetic 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 shoulder and body, articulated set-in sleeves, a center back gusset for layering and mobility, and horn buttons for the front placket, darted cuffs, and flap gusseted patch chest pockets. Speaking to heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage, this classically designed jacket is unlined with a belted waist and buckle closure, has large oversized bellow patch pockets, and is completed with felled and tailor-taped seams throughout. The Brown Wool Twill Saharan 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.
