Description

The Sage Linen 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 results from an exclusive collaboration between Fortela and Manteco® to create a heavyweight 14 oz. Italian Raw Linen Canvas, which has been garment dyed and enzyme washed for an authentic vintage aesthetic. It features a matte finish, with texture and drape in a dutiful outerwear-styled cloth that will continue to age beautifully. 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 straight hem for layering and is completed with felled seams, bartack reinforcements, and double and single-needle construction throughout. The Sage Linen 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.
