A work jacket has one structural problem to solve, which is that it has to hold a shoulder while being soft enough to work in. Tailoring solves it with canvas and padding. Working clothes solve it with cloth, and this is a cloth solution: ninety percent hemp gives the jacket enough body to stand at the shoulder without anything built in underneath, and the ten percent cotton keeps the hand from being punishing. The result is a jacket that layers like a shirt and sits like outerwear, which is not a combination that a cotton twill of the same weight can produce. It shares its cloth exactly with the French Work Pant, so the two can be worn together as a suit or split and worn apart, and the cloth will age at the same rate in both. Ninety percent hemp and ten percent cotton.
