Whipcord Hunting Jacket 〔OLIVE DRAB〕

— Whipcord / Hunting Jacket —

A hunting jacket made from heavyweight whipcord.

Whipcord is a dense twill fabric with a clearly defined diagonal weave.
It has substantial weight and structure, creating a pronounced texture across the surface.

The design is based on an old French hunting jacket.
Precisely because it was originally practical clothing for outdoor wear, the robust texture of whipcord—with its substantial weight—suits it better than a delicate fabric.

The fabric is finished with a sulfur dye.

Sulfur dyes are characterized by gradually fading through repeated wear and washing.
Wear marks emerge first in areas subject to frequent friction, such as the cuffs, pockets, and elbows, while variations in tone develop along the creases.

As with denim, the way the color fades varies according to the wearer's movements.
The substantial fabric also gradually loses its stiffness with wear, settling naturally against the body.

When new, the whipcord's structure gives the jacket a sharply defined silhouette.
As the color fades, the fabric softens, and wear marks appear on the pockets and sleeves, its character gradually develops into something reminiscent of old workwear.

It can also be worn as a set with the Whipcord Chino Trousers in the same fabric.

Rather than reproducing a finished vintage garment, this is a hunting jacket made to become vintage over time.
