French Hunting Jacket - Fox Brothers® Dark Olive Tweed Twill

Description

The French Hunting Jacket by MotivMfg x Division Road is designed as a meeting point between dutiful mid-century European hunting garments and tailored outerwear pieces made for the future. This piece is derived from 1940s French outdoorsman jackets, recreated in an anatomically tailored fit with set-in front and raglan back sleeves, a buttoned stand-up collar, and functional pocketing, all made in a durable material that epitomizes the originals with a more luxurious drape and feel for a piece perfectly balanced between vintage and contemporary that will complement any expedition. This jacket is made in a limited bolt, heavyweight 18 oz. Dark Olive Tweed Twill weave produced at the 200-year-old original Somerset mill by the world-famous Fox Brothers® using the finest 100% British Merino Wool in a worsted, suiting grade fabric engineered for the outdoors. Since 1772, Fox Brothers has produced top-tier textiles used in many applications, from Savile Row tailoring to British Military garments. By sourcing the best fibers from around the world and using intensive hand-driven milling and cording processes, they produce fabrics of the highest grade with comfort, density, and durability, all wrapped into one. This incredibly flexible and robust twill wool comes in a natural palette to reflect the Devon coast countryside transitioning into the Exmoor wilderness it's designed to confront. It boasts a complex cloth using shades of moss, bark, and olive yarns for a sophisticated aesthetic and luxuriously textured finish. This French Hunting Jacket is designed with a rolling 5-button front and is fully lined in the body with a substantial and soft chocolate brown cotton Moleskin from England’s Brisbane Moss® combined with Bemberg lined sleeves and concealed wool ribbing for the cuffs for a finely finished garment with hearty, comfortable insulation for outdoor versatility and function with elevated style. Paying homage to the originals with sophistication, this jacket has articulated vegetable-tanned Sheepskin elbow patches in dark brown and beautifully shaped utilitarian pocketing like D-patch front chest pockets integrated into the lower welted pockets with flap fronts that will tuck in for different formats and functions, along with three interior buttoned pockets and a back pass-through field pocket with button closure to secure all the armaments for your hunt or journey. This piece is packed with superior bespoke and old-world detailing like felled seams, zigzag back collar stitching, bartack reinforcements throughout, military-grade cotton twill lined pocketing, hand-dyed leather trim, and vintage reproduced and finished walnut brown genuine horn buttons. 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 completely exclusive collaborations for a new and timeless uniform for the Division Road Army.
