The Espresso Brown Heavy Linen Utility Jacket is masterfully crafted by atelier 'Hervier Productions' in Châtillon-sur-Indre, central France. A family of talented makers renowned for their impeccable craftsmanship since the early 20th century.
A future classic with its timeless design and versatile nature, the use of natural heavy linen provides strength and durability to the garment. A piece which is intended to become a true staple and built to last for many generations to come.
Featured in a traditional utility jacket style, with an unlined inner. The 100% Linen construction, produces a fabric weight of 500g. A flax-based textile which is comfortable to wear and valued for its airy, strong and resilient characteristics.
Presented in a traditional colourway with a hopsack pattern, this jacket has been tailored to the usual standardised specifications of 'Hervier Productions', which many clientele have become accustomed to over the years. Offering a jacket which is much more 'true to size', along with featuring a larger cuff to that of previous models, for increased comfortability and an enhanced appearance. This newly improved choice of fit was taken following feedback received from our loyal Fox ambassadors.

PROVENANCE [ THE MERCHANT UTILITY JACKET ]
Made in France, in the heart of the Indre department. Three generations of the Hervier family have passed down the company's skills.
To this day Monsieur Hervier keeps an eye on everything being made in the atelier, including the fine finishes such as the keyhole buttonholes and impeccable piped pockets. The passion for garment making is clear in their work.
Fox Brothers, the English woollen mill established in Somerset in 1772 is credited with being the originator of fine woollen and worsted flannels during the last century and is still said to produce the best in the world. According to style connoisseurs, when choosing flannel, “always be sure to ask for it (Fox) by name”.
Fox Brothers first developed ‘flannel’ in 1803 and to quote Esquire magazine, is still the “Standard Bearer” for this wonderfully soft cloth. Loved by tailors who appreciate the way it cuts "like a good butter', this wonderfully soft cloth has evolved over many years and is now available as suit lengths in varying designs and weights, exclusively on The Merchant Fox.
