The Victoria Special

$2,850.00

An asymmetrical, button-closure suede sports jacket with the pedigree of classic West Coast designs.



  • West Coast style jackets are often experimental, taking familiar designs and twisting them into psychedelic new shapes. They tend to have a few things in common: they prioritize comfort, and they’re more decorative than blocky, functional East Coast jackets. The Victoria Sportsman’s Jacket certainly shares those traits with its West Coast brethren. With a half-belt and size adjusters, it’s comfortable, and tough enough to take on the road. The asymmetrical button closure adds a rakish, old-world charm—perfect for a private eye with a chip on his shoulder.

    This special edition of the Victoria Sportsman's Jacket is available in limited quantities of Bright Gold Canadian Moosehide, with the option of red Japanese denim pocket bags. We only have a few of these hides, and once we run out, we'll never have the same colour again. That means these jackets are limited to a maximum of five. 

  • This is a bespoke product, that requires additional measurements to be submitted by the customer. Once you submit your order, you can find the interactive instructions and order form right here. 

    For stock size orders, please consult the size chart here, and select "I am ordering a jacket in a stock size." on the order form.

Bright Gold Canadian Moosehide

Thick, supple, heavy Canadian moosehide, wild hunted and locally tanned here in Ontario. Possibly the most luxurious leather you will ever touch.

Lining

Black Cotton Twill

Maple Ochre Flannel

Our flannels are medium weight brushed flannels replicating the provincial tartans of the provinces of Canada. The brushed flannel provides all weather temperature wear and is soft to the touch. While light it provides medium wear life as compared to stronger and smoother twill fabrics.
