Sandwich construction of three fabrics- Majocchi polyester-cotton high tension gabardine, raw organic cotton open cell mesh, and peach finished cotton oxford. Sandwich creates quilted texture of a down jacket without the thickness or heat. The cotton mesh middle layer shrinks in dyeing, pulling in the other fabrics, but will gently stretch out with wear, for a personal fit.

Shape based on bomber jackets, shell tops, and kite panel design.

Collar snaps influenced by workwear uniforms, biker jackets, and 18th century dress coats.

“Drone” is an update of the idea of a bomber jacket, also recalling bagpipes and John Cale and Lemonte Young’s experiments with continuous drones in musical composition.

Signature overlap back seam construction is adapted from bib overalls design and the cuffs of Lee chore coats.

Garment dye fully dyes the cotton lining and sewing threads, but only dyes the cotton fibre within the intimately blended gabardine- polyester fibres remain olive green, giving the fabric a special mottled appearance similar to a covert cloth or marl jersey.

Buttons are made from cellulose acetate derived from recycled cigarette filters.
