De Dam Foundation Cotton Gabardine Jacket | Navy

€490.00

A shorter iteration of the long trench coat, this jacket takes inspiration from traditional Dutch workwear and the jackets paired with the iconic Dutch baggy pants from 1800s - yes, those ones! de dam foundation has opted for a Japanese cotton gabardine in dark navy that’s water resistant and protects you against wind and rain (here in Ireland that’s a must). But it’s a jacket for all seasons, thanks to the cupro lining and easygoing nature of the fit. The fabric quality is next level and really sets this one apart.

Just like the trench, this jacket has an oversized collar that can be buttoned up (for days you’d like to go incognito and hide your face) or folded down and open. Again de dam foundation has achieved a perfect loose silhouette that’s refined and relaxed without being too oversized. If you’d like to tighten up the fit, there’s a concealed internal waistband that you can adjust as well as elastic cuffs to ensure a secure fit when it’s windy, but we also think they look great scrunched up to the elbow.

This superb jacket is complete with buffalo horn buttons from Germany and pockets both inside and outside. Made in South Korea in very limited quantities exclusive to Nubes.

de dam foundation makes timeless, functional garments that are inspired by the simplicity of everyday life in the Netherlands and rooted in historical awareness. Such influence stems from the founder John Ro, who was born in South Korea, and has come to appreciate the effortless style of the Dutch since living there.

“Like the best family staples passed down for generations”, all their garments are genderless, one size and crafted from high-quality natural fabrics that will only improve with age. 

It’s clothing that combines clean lines of 20th century Dutch modernists with the craftsmanship of traditional costumes from the Netherlands. 

de dam foundation garments are made in South Korea as an ode to John’s heritage.
