Sage Smudge Loft Jacket
Sandwich construction of three fabrics– Majocchi polyester–cotton high tension gabardine, raw organic cotton open cell mesh, and peach finished cotton oxford. Sandwich creates quilted texture of a down jacket without the thickness or heat. The cotton mesh middle layer shrinks in dyeing, pulling in the other fabrics, but will gently stretch out with wear, for a personal fit.
Mixture of design influences including the mesh filled RAF cold weather jacket, traditional rainwear, and tailored smoking jackets.
“Loft” is the type of sandwiched fabric construction, an old name for the skies, or heavens, and an attic where you might find an interesting old jacket.
Signature overlap back seam construction is adapted from bib overalls design and the cuffs of Lee chore coats.
Garment dye fully dyes the cotton lining and sewing threads, but only dyes the cotton fibre within the intimately blended gabardine– polyester fibres remain olive green, giving the fabric a special mottled appearance similar to a covert cloth or marl jersey.
