Denim Deck Jacket - Char Navy Overdyed Linen Denim

MotivMFG's Spring/Summer 2026 collection is titled "A.C.G.T." — referencing the four bases that make up a strand of DNA: Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine, & Thymine. The very conceptual title ties into the scientific inspiration behind the collection, which combines a set of unique and highly-technical fabrics with Motiv's usual stellar tailoring and design. The garments are somehow both old-world and futuristic, with riffs on familiar silhouettes and contemporary updates to classic styles that seem like they would feel equally appropriate in the Atomic Era of the late 40s as well as the distant 2100s. The Denim Deck Jacket is a great short length casual jacket with a lot of interesting details, from the funnel neck collar to the semi-raglan sleeve construction. It's got three external pockets, two larger patch-pockets for you hands (with a small pen/pencil tunnel detail), and a single chest pocket with a chain zip closure. The front closes up with a custom 1950s reproduction zipper, while the collar and hem feature extra stitched reinforcements for durability.  This custom fabric is the latest of Motiv's "Summer Denim" textiles, developed in collaboration with the best narrow-loom weavers in China. Made from a blend of 75% linen and 25% cotton yarns, they've got all the structure and durability of a more "traditional" denim, with added breathability and drape thanks to the linen content. The char navy color comes from using natural indigo-dyed warp yarns and finishing each garment with a sulfur-based overdye, resulting in a deep charcoal/navy base that will fade very dramatically over time, developing a beautiful high-contrast patina with wear. Fits true to size.
