Safari Men's Sports Jacket, Irish Linen, Dark Green

This safari sports jacket in a slim, two-button style is made of first-class Irish linen by Spence Bryson. It is of a quality that is usually appreciated at renowned tailors. For a sporty cut with four bellow pockets with buttoned flaps, the back part is worked with an inserted waist belt and two side vents. The sleeve lining is made of viscose and thus offers good wearing comfort. The cooling properties of the linen come into their own in this unlined jacket. Two buttoned inside pockets are worked into the wide outer fabric layers. The elaborate hand-stitched topstitching on lapels, edges, flaps and dividing seams emphasises the distinctive linen structure.The tradition of manufacturing linen, which in Ireland dates back to the 17th century, is continued today by only a few remaining weavers, such as Spence Bryson, who belong to the Ulster Weavers group. The high quality of Irish linen has always been particularly appreciated. Since there is no longer any local cultivation, the raw material used is mainly first-class, long-fibre flax from Belgium or northern France. The fibres are very homogeneous and thus, in addition to an elegant shine, a high tensile strength and durability are achieved. Linen cools and is permeable to air when woven.The back length for size 50 is 72 cm, for size 98 it is 77 cm.
Weight: 290 g/rm.The sports jacket is tailored for a snug fit. We recommend ordering one size up if you prefer a looser fit.
