Product details
Based out of Japan's Iwate Prefecture, one of the northernmost provinces, Gorsch was born into a quiet rural life, taking inspiration from antique German tailoring and early proto-workwear. The garments are beautifully constructed, frequently making use of deadstock vintage textiles, with tailored silhouettes and unisex styling.
Gorsch's Spring/Summer 2024 Collection is their 12th seasonal release, and takes inspiration from the wardrobe and personal style of a local grape farmer, Mr. Sasaki, and his wife, Kanako. They run a small farm in Iwate's Shiwa District, growing grapes for white, red, and orange natural wines using what Gorsch refer to as "natural farming principles" - having purchased and restored an abandoned vineyard to produce naturally fermented wines.
With names like Bauer & Bauerin, both meaning "farmer" in German, the styles are understated - "simple" in appearance yet deceptively complex in execution. The rustic undertones in each piece's design help to balance the more formal silhouettes, creating elevated casual garments that fit easily into a summer wardrobe, whether you're on the farm laboring, or sharing a bottle of something with friends: you'll look your absolute best.
The Bauer Jacket is based on 1930s era semi-formalwear, with a design based on "Town Jackets" worn by rural farmers on special occasions and during town gatherings. Cut as a two button blazer, it's got a tailored shape, with a half-belted back and notch lapels above the placket. The pockets are slightly undersized, and pair with the slightly-larger-than-average body for a subtly casual silhouette, further emphasized by the double back vent and plain cuffs.
It's made from Gorsch's "Weather Wool" a wool/linen fabric with all the best features of both fibers that make it up. Woven at a slightly low tension, the wool yarns are brushed for softness, helping to minimize the linen content's wrinkling without eliminating the subtle sheen present across its face. It's given a final rinse after finishing as well, helping relax the fibers further and emphasizing some of the unique textural irregularities throughout.
An excellent garment and fabric for warmer weather, it features a partial buggy lining through the body, with tonal hardware and custom woven labels. Over time, the already exceptional fabric will continue to break in, developing a unique and "authentic" patina throughout.
Fits true to size. Dry clean only.
