C/Li Double Cloth Directors Jacket
— Double-Layered Cotton-Linen Cloth —
When you hear “directors jacket,” you may imagine formal attire resembling a tuxedo.
The “directors” we have in mind, however, are people who move constantly between film, theater, and project sites.
They are constantly pressed for time, with no room to worry about what to wear, yet still need to look presentable.
We envisioned this jacket as something like their “uniform.”
The fabric is a double-layered cloth woven from cotton and French linen.
The fiber structure itself is designed to hold air, making the finished fabric lighter than it appears and remarkably breathable.
Its slightly dry touch keeps it off the skin, while the characteristic crispness of linen naturally coexists with the softness of cotton.
Reliable even in the heat, it is a well-balanced fabric that remains comfortable to wear throughout spring and summer.
The fabric has a soft, resilient body that retains a sense of structure in its silhouette while remaining lightweight.
Even when worn casually, its quietly polished appearance is largely thanks to the character of this fabric.
The jacket is half-lined, with a cotton-rayon lining through the body and striped cupra lining in the sleeves.
The construction ensures breathability and ease of movement through the sleeves, minimizing discomfort even during extended wear.
A truly refined construction, with handwork extending even to the unseen details, including piping, star tacks, hand-sewn lapels, and the hand-basted inner shoulder seams.
The buttons are made from genuine buffalo horn with a low sheen, adding a subtle yet distinctive presence.
Simply throw it on, and you somehow look put-together.
Yet it never feels stiff or formal.
A directors jacket for today, designed to strike the perfect balance between casual ease and a polished appearance.
