The Continental Sack Jacket merges vintage charm with contemporary style. Drawing inspiration from 1920s worker's jackets, this piece features a tailored fit made of a custom heavyweight ribbed pique fabric that combines linen and wool for a pleasant drape. It boasts a classic notch lapel, a versatile 5-button placket, and multiple pockets for functionality, all crafted for comfort and style. Perfect for both casual outings and refined occasions.
From the brand: The Continental Sack Jacket is a more clean-cut variation of Motiv's Work Sack Jacket, inspired by the highly functional and stylish worker's jackets of the 1920s. Usually made from hard-wearing materials and cut into anatomical, tailored fits, this version sits somewhere between classic workwear and more refined casual jackets, with four external pockets that feature reinforced stitching for practical durability.
It's cut with a five button placket, but sits most naturally when fixed as a three-roll-two (meaning worn either as a 3-button or 2-button blazer), though it can be closed all the way up easily for extra protection from the elements. It's got a simple and smart notch lapel, with a casual single button cuff that can actually be opened and closed. The floating buggy lining gives just a little bit of extra comfort and structure, as well as allowing air to vent more freely through the interior while you move.
The fabric is custom, designed exclusively for Motiv in Japan and then woven by one of China's leading linen mills, blending linen and wool yarns in a pronounced pique fabric. Inspired by a vintage French textile, it's pleasantly dense and surprisingly soft for being 62% linen, with a plush face that insulates and breathes remarkably well. It features a really pleasingly-bouncy and structured drape that lends itself well to the more formal style.
