Andy Corduroy

A jacket in mustard cotton corduroy, "Andy Corduroy".

The ridges of the wale catch the light and create the shading only corduroy has.

Every piece is cut in one direction against the nap, so the deep color reads evenly across the whole jacket.

Washed once after sewing to take out the stiffness of new cloth and leave a soft hand.

Only the top collar and lapels are pressed in finishing.

The body and sleeves are only steamed, keeping the character of the wash.

Under the top collar, a chin strap with a tab and button.

A classic detail found on hunting jackets and the like.

It was originally meant to close the neck with the collar turned up, but made large enough to fasten, it becomes too prominent when the lapels are open.

So it is deliberately cut small and serves purely as a design element.

Because it would be very tight, the strap is not designed to be fastened at the neck.

The shoulders and armholes are sewn with open seams, with no stitching showing on the outside.

Interlining is limited to where it is needed, such as the facings and collar, rather than fused across the whole front, keeping the jacket light.

3-button cuffs with mitered corners.

A welt pocket at the chest, patch pockets with flaps at the hips.

Fully lined.

Sewn at a factory in Aomori Prefecture that specializes in tailored clothing.

Crisp only at the collar, the rest left to the softness of corduroy.
