Concord Jacket - Red Rain Charcoal "Redpath" Flannel

MotivMFG is headed by Samuel Wei, founder of Radiance Blue and the pioneer of the heritage market in China; and Daniel Gu, a third-generation tailor and designer. Together, they combine old-world tailoring (from various antique European manuals) with workwear production techniques. Constant research into garment production techniques from around the world inform their designs, with the goal of recreating, as opposed to just reproducing. The Concord Jacket is Motiv's latest attempt (for Autumn/Winter '24) at a double-breasted suit jacket inspired by mid century tailoring, with an elongated bodice and structured paneling. The two button placket is sewn on the diagonal, adding to the more athletic shape of the jacket itself, with sharp peak lapels and a very defined waist. In addition to the usual combination of wool and horsehair padding throughout the jacket (this is what gives suit jackets their shape), the Concord features custom shoulder pads with an aggressive taper for a more defined silhouette. It's fully lined through through the body and sleeves, with a custom tonal design that compliments the body fabric. It's got three pockets on the outside and two more inside for storage, and the back features a double vent for drape and movement. It's an outstandingly tailored and designed suit jacket that's perfect for cooler weather and climates. The fabric is a custom production by Lovat Mills in Scotland, a 100% wool flannel designed to mimic the texture of early 20th century superfine woolen flannel. The weave and finish of the textile fully shrinks the individual fibers of the wool, resulting in an exceptionally dense and plush fabric with a tightly-woven face. Motiv requested that Lovat weave the subtle red rain pattern into a dark charcoal body, appearing as a normal dark cloth at most distances but revealing its sophistication up close.
