Description

The Aged Canvas Swiss Army Helvetica Shirt by Fortela is inspired by military-style field shirt jackets worn by Swiss Army personnel in WWII, with a refined fit and detailing. This Shirt Jacket is made from a heavyweight 12 oz. Italian Canvas that has been garment dyed, enzyme washed, and hand distressed for an authentic vintage aesthetic with a matte finish that has texture and drape in an iconic military cloth known for its durability and wearability, which will continue to age. This garment is suited for any new-classic enthusiast with an improved aesthetic and detailing in an authentic up-production inspired by the timeless battle-tested original known for its uniform dress functionality. Derived from Alessandro Squarzi's famous archives, it has signature elements like a point collar, horn buttons for the front placket, button cuffs, and flap front patch chest pockets. Speaking to heritage workshop productions and evolving vintage, this cleanly designed shirt jacket has a generous fit and a straight hem for layering. It is completed with felled seams, bartack reinforcements, and double and single-needle construction throughout. The Aged Canvas Swiss Army Shirt 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.
