Gabardine Sportcoat

From the Fall 1987 Catalogue: “When Bogart donned gabardine, he raised gumshoeing from hack trade to high art. We’ve applied the same precedent to our Gabardine Jacket. The styling suggests countrified tweeds, but the fabric bespeaks utter urbanity–it’s a silky wool and cotton blend we found in an old British trenchcoat, then traced back and commissioned the factory that first made it. Impeccably tailored for comfort as well as good looks, with hand-picking on lapels and collar, a bi-swing back to free arms and shoulders. Our nod to rusticity: leather collar facing and elbow patches for dash and durability. In sum, a jacket that adds motive to urban forays and rural rambles alike.”
