this vintage herringbone cloth IN burnt orange - MADE UP OF a mix of silk/linen - finds a second lease of life - as a summer sports jacket.
this particular linen yarn is densely woven with its texture sheened by the luster of silk, which easily differentiates it from the often bodiless linens of today. WHILE BEING DENSE, THIS PARTICULAR fabric remains light, which makes it easy to be made into a CHIC summer number.
this cloth was made into a single breasted jacket with draped chest, slightly bellied notch lapels, jetted pockets, extended and natural shoulder.
