Description

The Merz b. Schwanen x Dehen 1920 Pilot Jacket is crafted from a Deep Black 12 oz. Dry Waxed Herringbone produced by Halley Stevensons® for a substantial, weather-resistant, and versatile all-season piece. Sourced from the Scottish mill renowned for its innovations in waxed canvas, this waterproof 100% Cotton fabric features a textured herringbone twill weave that has been brushed and finished with a matte dry wax for weather resistance and durability in a crisp cloth that will develop a personalized patina and conform to the body through years of wear. A recent Dehen design, the Pilot Jacket is inspired by Navy flight bombers introduced in WWII to pay homage to Bill Dehen's military service and offers a clean, stylistically versatile, and perfectly proportioned design enhanced with a high-grade waxed cloth. This Merz b. Schwanen iteration of Dehen's hand-crafted outerwear is elevated with slant welt front pockets, an interior welt chest pocket, and a military-grade two-way matte-black zipper front with a collaboration chainstitched Dehen & Merz b. Schwanen script on the interior storm placket. This piece is fully finished with a deadstock Japanese rayon satin lining in the body and sleeves, plus a tonal worsted-wool ribbed-knit stand collar, hem, and cuffs, all made with Dehen's own 1940s weaving machines. This Merz b. Schwanen x Dehen 1920 Waxed Herringbone Pilot Jacket is an outerwear garment informed by the past and built for adventures ahead, ready for daily duty downtown or on deck.
