jackets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIf you are a 38 in our Ranch Blouse or Campus pattern (granted they are pears and apples), you are most-likely a 38 in the ROAMER.\u003c\/li\u003e\n

measurements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo consider the thickness of the shell\/lining combo when comparing these measurements to those of a jacket of a similar style that fits you well.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCARE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSTORY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe ROAMER is another demilitarized take on US Navy peacoat early models, blending elements of civilian vintage Mackinaw jackets and mid-century car coats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe shell fabric of the “ROAMER Car Coat” was inspired by that of an old 1930s French “Velour d’Amiens” work jacket from our archives, a grade of heavy wide-wale cotton corduroy (gros velour côtelé) typical of vintage European working class meets country gentlemen garb.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAs we had done for the MATTOCK Jacket, we reached out to our friends at Toyo Enterprise to source-out a fabric reminiscent in texture and feel of traditional “Amiens” workwear corduroy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe specific “oxidized” black color of the original 1930’s French hunting coat was expertly matched by a Japanese dyehouse, and the resulting color has that je-ne-sais-quoi that looks authentic and vintage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor the lining, we went with an American classic, a warm and soft wool blend insulating fabric sometimes referred to as “canteen blanket”, “Troy blanket”, or “Alaska blanket”.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt is our first time featuring this particular olive green\/grey dominant stripe blanket pattern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe traditional double pocketing of the lining has been updated for the 21st Century by adjusting the size of the lower “cigarette pocket” to fit the average smart phone, rather than a pack of Lucky Strike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe combination of both old school low-tech fabrics gives the ROAMER an average resistance to cold, making it quite ideal during mid-seasons in temperate climates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe choice of leather piping pocket openings and arrowhead pocket stops is a feature found on sought-after early Mackinaw coats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe black tea-core leather trim will age gracefully over time with normal wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFor the double-breasted front closure, we opted for tonal classic tailoring corozo wood buttons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA discreet naval reference was kept, with the small foul anchor button holding the removable chin strap under the collar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mister
