An oversized, four-button jacket — relaxed, generous, and grounded in workwear tradition.
Crafted from antique linen and overdyed to a rich Hazelnut tone, the fabric carries a natural depth and softness, shaped by time and use. The cloth retains its strength while offering a more fluid drape, designed to wear in and evolve with the wearer.
Each garment is entirely cut, sewn, and finished by Oliver Church in Paris, reflecting a deeply personal and deliberate approach to making. Traditional techniques are used throughout — hand-sewn buttonholes in French soie perlée, hand-shanked vintage buttons with antique shell backing, and a collar closed by hand for a softer, more natural finish. Reinforcement is achieved using handwoven cotton, with no fusing or synthetic bonding, allowing the garment to age with integrity.
The silhouette is intentionally oversized, with a broader, more relaxed proportion through the body. Large side entry patch pockets and an internal breast pocket with visible top-stitching bring both function and quiet detail. Flat felled seams ensure durability, while each piece is accompanied by a fabric swatch for ongoing care and repair.
A singular piece — generous in form, rich in materiality, and made to be worn over time.
