TENDER TYPE 918 TWO:ONE BUTTERFLY JACKET WOOL COTTON SEERSUCKER BLACK HOLE

the Two:One jacket has shaped lapels with a large belly, to use the tailor's term.When worn turned down this creates a generous, rather old fashioned lapel shape, and when turned up the extra fabric allows space for a set of double breasted buttons to cover the chest (Two) while the lower part of the coat below the break is single breasted (One).

The jacket is cut on the Tender Butterfly block, with no side seams and reversed sleeves, joined along the top sleeve and into the shoul- der.The body is fully lined in the same fabric as the outer shell, pro- viding substance and warmth, while the sleeves are lined with a smoother cotton drill.Two large patch pockets are entirely set onto rounded support patches, providing strength at the corners, inspired by an early British Rail greatcoat.

 
Seersucker, from the Persian ریش shîr and رکش shakar meaning milk and sugar, is a striped fabric with two different textures, smooth like milk and bumpy like sugar. It is traditionally woven from cotton at different warp tensions. Seersuckers were originally a workwear and bedding fabric for hot weather, and have more recently been adopted for tailored summer suits.

This Wool Cotton Seersucker is woven on a flat loom at even tension, but in stripes of wool and cotton weft yarns. Clothes are cut and sewn from the flat fabric, but as soon as they are washed or dyed the cotton shrinks at a higher rate than the wool, causing the wool stripes to bunch up, forming soft ripples.
