Product details
MotivMFG is headed by Samuel Wei, founder of Radiance Blue and the pioneer of the heritage market in China; and Daniel Gu, a third-generation tailor and designer. Together, they combine old-world tailoring (from various antique European manuals) with workwear production techniques. Constant research into garment production techniques from around the world inform their designs, with the goal of recreating, as opposed to just reproducing.
The Mandarin Coat is a seriously heavy duty raglan coat, with a generous fit and a convertible hood/stand collar. The hood can be worn closed as a mask as well, emulating the hood of US military CWU-8P jackets, and the front secures shut with heavy tonal buttons in a double-breasted stance for additional resistance to the elements. Cut with a subtle A-line silhouette, the back features two large vents above the hem for better drape and movement, given that this is a full length coat.
It’s made from a super heavy 100% wool overcoating fabric, produced by Marling & Evans in the UK. Clocking in at 900gsm, it’s completely undyed, woven from similar tones of wool from three different breeds of British sheep. After weaving, the only treatment the fabric receives is a wash, using natural soap — this chemical-free finish helps soften the already plush wool, developing a more supple hand. Motiv themselves say that the fabric is “as close as possible to hugging a real sheep” which is both high praise and hard to disagree with, as the material is basically a blanket that you wear.
The front of the jacket features two exceptionally roomy welted pockets with flap closures, with another button pocket on the inside for that extra precious cargo you want close to your heart. The body is lined with a cotton twill for additional insulation and to add a bit of extra heft to the drape, and all the internal seams feature a clean finish.
Being so heavy, this fabric is highly wind and water resistant, holding up exceptionally well to all sorts of inclement weather. Being made entirely of wool, it's also quick drying, with remarkable insulation and a fantastic drape.
Fits true to size. Dry clean or spot clean only.
