Trench - 1860 Handwoven Pennsylvanian Jacquard Wool
This classic trench coat is inspired by the modern city-country commuter. It is fashioned from a smooth wool jacquard handwoven in Pennsylvania in 1860, with brass military buttons c. 1939-45. A sure conversation starter: the date of origin of the textile (1860) is woven into textile and visible on the sleeve. You'd never guess that this modern print was woven 162 years ago.
