Cotton drill hunting jacket - Emile

Kiplay Vintage has brought back the authentic 1920s hunting jacket. Crafted out of French cotton drill fabric, it is both functional and durable.

This limited edition design features an old French Republic coin from the 1920s/’30s connected to the flap pocket with map fabric, the signature hallmark of the Kiplay Vintage brand.

The gold buttons, salvaged from Kiplay’s archives, are hand-sewn

The traditional back “game” pocket once used for storing birds during hunts has been reproduced exactly as it was.

It also features a series of pockets that were used, back in the day, for carrying ammunition, cartridges and other hunting accessories.

Cotton drill fabric

Cotton drill is one of those time-honoured fabrics made for centuries, well before textile production grew on an industrial scale. Kiplay Vintage has faithfully redeveloped this 100% cotton drill, 400 g/m², based on a fabric (cotton sheets) made in the 1950s at the Flers weaving workshops

The double-warp weaving produces a striped pattern with its thrown dyed threads.

Kiplay Vintage has decided to make jackets, waistcoats and trousers, in its long-standing workshops in Normandy, out of this iconic fabric because of its authentic look and durability.

This fabric is unique in France and worldwide.
