Description

The Momotaro MXOT1314 Harrington Jacket is a vintage-inspired piece made modern in a proprietary heavyweight, Japanese loomed Sashiko Jacquard woven cloth using a blend of hand-cultivated Organic Zimbabwe Cotton for the warp and Pure Virgin Wool for the weft. Fashioned after martial arts and reinforcement cloths used since the 17th century, sashiko cloth is woven on a three-dimensional loom using thick and deeply indigo-dyed warp and weft yarns. As a result, this piece will develop distinct fading patterns throughout the naturally textured weave. Using a Harrington style inspired by traditional sportswear, this piece has a cotton/rayon blend quilted lining for multi-season use and a perfectly proportioned fit for modern, heritage-styled grit. The Indigo Wool Weft Sashiko Jacket has plenty of refined elements that turn back the clock with a considered lens like the point collar, storm shield back panel, a two-way Universal gun-black zipped front, flap welt front pockets with button closure, an interior welt pocket, Japanese horn buttons, and is completed with a fabric ribbed hem and button cuffs. Representing one of the most esteemed Japanese producers in heritage, this hardwearing Momotaro combines a rare propriety fabric, precise craftsmanship, and refined reproduction with modern elements to yield a timeless mainstay in any wardrobe that is special when new, and only gets better as it becomes one's own.
