TENDER TYPE 918 TWO:ONE BUTTERFLY JACKET WOOL FACE BROKEN TWILL CHESTNUT DYED

the Two:One jacket has shaped lapels with a large belly, to use the tailor's term.When worn turned down this creates a generous, rather old fashioned lapel shape, and when turned up the extra fabric allows space for a set of double breasted buttons to cover the chest (Two) while the lower part of the coat below the break is single breasted (One).

The jacket is cut on the Tender Butterfly block, with no side seams and reversed sleeves, joined along the top sleeve and into the shoul- der.The body is fully lined in the same fabric as the outer shell, pro- viding substance and warmth, while the sleeves are lined with a smoother cotton drill.Two large patch pockets are entirely set onto rounded support patches, providing strength at the corners, inspired by an early British Rail greatcoat.

This fabric is woven on a heavy ecru cotton warp, with a soft ecru woollen weft, in a broken twill.The weft is pushed to the front of the fabric, forming a face that is predominantly wool, with a soft, fuzzy texture, and a smoother, cleaner back mostly made up of the cotton warp yarn.
