GLUE JACKET 460.00 GBP
Raglan sleeved collarless work jacket with stainless steel popstud fastening and contrasting cotton ripstop sleeves. The jacket has 2 hand pockets integrated into the front body darts and a third patch pocket in cotton ripstop in the inside chest. Boxy fit with a slightly cropped back.
Middle Distance’s ‘glue’ fabric is an experiment in combining the drape, texture and insulation properties of a classic melton wool with the softness and lightness of a technical bonded fleece. We started with a t-shirt weight organic cotton jersey, hand dyed our signature shade of ‘Clyde Grey’ using the same combination of Black Walnut, Madder and Sumac as we used on the ‘Haze’ shade of our Fog Jacket, in slightly varied proportions to achieve a cooler grey. This was then bonded with lightweight heated glue to knitted cotton polar fleece. The result is soft, tactile and surprisingly tough, with a slightly rigid quality that needs to be broken in, similar to a pair of raw denim jeans.
An unintended result of the bonding process is that the raw edge that is left when the fabric is cut needs no further finishing - we have utilized this in construction in multiple places across the jacket, including the hand pinked zig-zag centre back seam. The sleeves, pocket bags and facings, all dyed in the same dye bath as the base jersey, are made from deadstock American military ripstop.
Batch-made in-house by our Glasgow based cutter and machinist in the studio upstairs from Middle Distance. Due to the hand dyed nature of this product, variation and some marking in dye are to be expected - this is part of the design and a by-product of the unique artisanal dye process. QC checked with Middle Distance ‘quality control’ sticker applied.
