Description

The American Sack Jacket by MotivMfg x Division Road is designed as a meeting point between tailored formal and dutiful leisure blazers, perfectly balanced in design to be a timeless wardrobe staple. This piece is derived from sack jackets popularized in the United States from the 1920s to the 1950s and redesigned with an anatomically tailored fit that bridges modern and vintage styling, featuring a 2-button front, an elongated notch lapel, and a center vent. This jacket is made in a limited bolt, lightweight, all-season 10 oz. Chestnut Fox Air Cloth plain-weave produced at the 200-year-old original Somerset mill by the world-famous Fox Brothers® using the finest 100% British Merino Wool with a signature worsted yarn and 2-ply weave referencing a tropical wool weight that resists wrinkling and is engineered for the outdoors. Since 1772, Fox Brothers has produced top-tier textiles for a range of applications, including Savile Row tailoring and British Military garments. By sourcing the finest fibers from around the world and employing intensive, hand-driven milling and cording processes, they produce fabrics of the highest grade, combining comfort, density, and durability. This incredibly luxurious, crisp, and dry cloth boasts a complex coloration with shaded yarns of chestnut and harvest brown, woven in a box-weave for a sophisticated aesthetic that reflects its enhanced class. This American Sack Jacket is designed with a soft, padded shoulder and dress-to-casual versatility, featuring a Cupro twill half-lined body that provides drape with mobility, along with Bemberg-lined sleeves and functional buttoned cuffs for practical refinement. Paying homage to the originals but elevated with tailored sophistication, this jacket features beautifully shaped and utilitarian pocketing, including a welt chest pocket, flap-front welted pockets, and dual chest interior welt pockets for accompaniments. This piece is packed with superior bespoke and old-world detailing, including felled and taped seams, bartack reinforcements throughout, and genuine horn buttons with a unique vintage finish. MotivMfg has re-established a pattern-to-bespoke garment one-roof workshop in Beijing with the ethos, process, techniques, and materials of Savile Row to produce historically informed garments in styles and production methods lost by the West. We are honored to partner with MotivMfg to offer exclusive collaborations for a new and timeless uniform for the Division Road Army.
