WORKING Drone Jacket | Beach Tar
‘Drone’ reimagines the classic bomber jacket, drawing inspiration from multiple sources: from the drone of bagpipes to the sustained sonic experiments of John Cale and La Monte Young. Its oversized silhouette is informed by bomber jackets, shell tops, and the design of kite panels.
The triple-layered sandwich structure features Italian Majocchi high-tension polyester-cotton gabardine, raw organic cotton open-cell mesh, and peach-finished cotton oxford. Together, they create the quilted texture of a down jacket without the thickness or heat (just like the Loft Jacket). When the garment is dyed, each layer takes the dye and shrinks differently to produce a tactile, characterful and versatile fabric with a distinctive mottled effect, similar to covert cloth or marl jersey.
Collar snaps are influenced by workwear uniforms, biker jackets, and 18th century dress coats. The jacket’s overlapping back seam construction – a signature of WORKING – is adapted from bib overalls and the cuffs of vintage Lee chore coats. Additional details include two functional pockets and mixed deadstock zips.
