Mechanics Jacket

Yarmouth Oilskins dug deep into their old catalogues to find jackets and garments that would work well today. And what they found was a beautiful Mechanics Jacket from 1905. It may have been originally designed for the workshop but cuts a dashing silhouette down the pub now. The Navy Mechanics Jacket has a slightly quirky curved chest pocket, maybe originally for holding a spanner or wrench? There is a matching inside pocket mirrored on the other side, which is a wonderful touch.

All manufactured in Britain with french seams and herring bone tape internals. As with all Yarmouth Oilskins British made clothes they are designed to last a lifetime. The Navy Mechanics Jacket is made from a slightly heavier cotton twill which is a brighter navy. In the Yarmouth Oilskins archives the original colour was referred to as 'Bluette'. Is there a more perfect spring and summer jacket?
