We found this jacket in a thrift shop, and everyone we showed it to loved it, so we decided to make a limited run. These are made in the same drab wool elastique as our Indiana Jones pants and Officer "Pink" trousers. This fabric wears like iron and resists wrinkles. Genuine leather buttons.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket is made from drab wool elastique fabric. This material is the same as used for the Indiana Jones pants and Officer "Pink" trousers. The fabric is durable and resists wrinkles. It is a heavy-weight wool, similar to that favoured by the U.S. Army for its officers during the Second War.
How does the jacket fit?
The jacket generally fits true to the stated chest size. It is comfortable enough to wear over a shirt or with the addition of a waistcoat. However, the sleeves are consistently noted as being too long. Expect to need tailoring to shorten the sleeves by at least an inch.
What kind of buttons does the jacket have?
The jacket features genuine leather buttons. These buttons are described as "football buttons" and have a leather loop on the back. The buttonholes can be a little difficult to use.
What is the colour of the jacket?
The jacket's colour is described as drab, and it is the same colour as US officers' "pinks". While the colour is as described, some may prefer a camel or olive green option. It is a distinctive colour.
What are the typical uses for this jacket?
The jacket is suitable for undress occasions and can be a necessary part of a travelling kit. It works well as a casual jacket. The fabric is durable and can withstand abuse.
