DJ-1175 Wool Plaid Sport Jacket

100% wool

Sizes 38 and 40 are sold out.

We have designed a 1950s style sports jacket using deadstock wool fabric.

The material is wool-blend flannel, and the large plaid pattern is eye-catching. Because it is deadstock, there are not many produced. For that reason, we paid particular attention to the small details.

First, make the pattern.

In the 1950s, British-style men's clothing regulations were still in place. Therefore, the shoulder seams are not in the center of the shoulder line, but are slightly shifted to the back. This is due to a process called "shirking" that allows the chest muscles to move... and many wool sports jackets from the 1950s still retain this look. So we have faithfully reproduced that.

In addition, the sleeves are made of two pieces.

If the sleeves were made from one piece, they would be tubular, but by using two pieces, we were able to create a curve at the elbow. Combined with the almost vertical pockets, this makes it easy to bend your elbow.

The front zipper has kite string sandwiched in it to prevent it from getting stuck.

These are all small details, but the way men's clothing was made in the 1950s is a combination of these things that result in beautiful, easy-to-wear clothes.

The front zipper has a leather pull cord, similar to that found on winter outerwear, making it easy to open and close even with gloves on.

It's a beautiful plaid fifties-style outerwear piece that's full of thoughtful details.
