Wool and Mouton Jacket

The Women’s Limited Edition Wool & Mouton Jacket. From the catalogue: “While designing our leather Amelia Earhart jacket (see page 39) we made the prototype out of some surplus military-grade wool we’d bought in Sweden. We liked the sample so much that we rounded up more of the wool–a superlatively dense fabric that had been used to make winter uniforms for the Swedish women’s armed forces–and duplicated our original, including the button-off mouton collar. Luxurious yet low-key, this jacket is available in limited quantities only.”
