So this is our Donkey Jacket. So in the initial stages of the collection, Rob and I were
looking at great British work wear pieces.
And we were talking about, you know, the great classic miner's donkey
jacket and how we can do like kind of more modern,
sort of luxurious version of it. And we had
this excellent old original piece. It's amazing
and I like how that's got all the original leather for the, for kind of the it's got all of the leather features,
it's hard wearing against carrying heavy loads, etc. That really tough
rugged wool. It's kind of really kind of stiff and heavy but
it did its job. So what we wanted to do was take the best bits from that
original donkey jacket and make it into this cleaner,
modern version. It's in this softer
brushed wool. It's still kind of dense so it kind of shields you against the elements, keeps
you lovely and warm.
We've done this more of a stand up collar, so it's got more of a formalness to it.
Also it's got the epaulettes here.
Keeping the same kind of yoke that references towards heavy wear
and built to last. You've got the patch pockets here at the hips so you can
carry all of your bits and bops.
And then the cuff straps here.
And then if I just open it up to the inside and undo
the hook at the neck, what really kind of sets this apart
is this beautiful quilted interior we have to the inside.
It's quilted through to the viscose twill,
heavy back neck chains. It's just really, really elegant.
Really, really warm. Really, really practical. It's a really great gent's
short winter jacket.
