Button Sport Jacket - Black

Like so many of our favorite brands, Attractions was born from an appreciation of vintage clothing. Originally founded in 2006, Attractions began as a vintage reseller, importing pieces from the United States and UK before starting their own production in 2011. Their experience in the vintage world provided them with the knowledge and inspiration necessary to develop their own styles, growing into an impressive and unique brand in a market saturated with alternatives. With a deliberate focus on highly specific and often obscure styles from the last hundred years, Attractions produce some truly stellar and unique pieces, occupying a stylistic wheelhouse closely adjacent to "biker" but plainly distinct from other similar repro brands. Inspired by the progression of youth culture and style, Attractions infuse their own unique perspective into both the pieces they design and the ways they design them. Run by a small team, Attractions produce (relatively) tight collections with fewer styles than many other brands, and outsource the logistical aspects of production to specifically selected factories around Japan. The reduced strain from not having to wrangle production allows Attractions to prioritize development, releasing exceptional styles in materials that can't be found anywhere else. The Button Sport Jacket is a really handsome 30s-style piece of "sportswear," a term which referred to casual-wear garments in that era, not athletic apparel, as we would interpret it today. It's got a fantastic fit, with a slightly-cropped body and an adjustable torso (thanks to the side tab belt adjusters at the back of the jacket), as well as a classic button placket and full collar.  The standout detail, so to speak, is the trims — the body is cut from a plush wool/nylon blend melton fabric, with a cotton flannel lining through the body, and supple calfskin leather trims across the front. Covering part of all three pockets, the back belt, and reinforcing the front of the body is an extremely soft black calf leather that requires no break-in at all, feeling as soft as the wool body the moment you put it on. Fits true to size.
