Estimated 1930s, a German Army Drillich herringbone twill linen jacket.
A special acquisition.
One might say it ranks among the finest pieces of German Army outerwear.
Said to have been developed as workwear within German Army installations during the Second World War.
Crafted with reference to the French Army's Bourgeron jacket, the details and hand of the fabric are remarkably similar.
Vintage linen yields that characteristic supple drape, a gentle movement with each gesture.
Stripped of unnecessary design, its construction is forthright—a piece of genuine versatility, suited to varied purposes across different contexts.
Soiling and wear marks are present, though no damage that compromises wear. Still very much a garment to be lived in.
The sizing runs small, accommodating those of slighter frame.
This is not the sort of object one simply purchases. Future availability cannot be assured.
A rare piece, seldom encountered. Should you be seeking such an item, this warrants consideration.
