Description

The Navy British Wool Hopsack Simple Jacket from Gitman Vintage is made in an all-season, 8 oz. Plain-weave Hopsack cloth milled by one of England’s oldest mills, dating to 1782, Marling & Evans®, in 100% British Wool. Using specialty twisted yarns to prevent wrinkling and add durability, woven in a double basketweave to produce an amazingly durable and flexible cloth, this timeless navy fabric drapes beautifully. Designed to reference sack jackets used in formal to workwear applications from the 1920s-1960s, the Simple Jacket is unstructured and unlined with a classic notch collar, a 2-button single breast front, and a single-piece back for a dress-casual style that will meet many occasions in a cut that's just right for most body types. This piece is complemented with chest and lower patch pockets, an interior patch pocket, espresso horn buttons, and is constructed with taped and felled seams in Rochester, New York, for Northeasterner provenance and adherence to the original style references. The Gitman Vintage Simple Jacket has a classic, casual sophistication that makes it a standard wardrobe piece for many well-dressed men.
