Big Jacket - Linen Denim

An oversized, four-button jacket — relaxed in proportion, with a distinctly utilitarian edge.

Crafted from French woven linen denim, this cloth blends the durability of cotton with the breathability of linen, offering structure with a softened hand. The fabric carries a subtle texture and depth, designed to wear in over time while retaining its strength and character.

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 generous cut through the body for ease and movement. 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 — utilitarian in spirit, softened through time and wear.
