VOLKLORE OUTER WEAR

Style; SAMPAY JUMPA COAT ( 'Sampay Jumpa' =  'See you next time' in Bahasa Indonesia).

Sampay Jumpa coat, Narmada trousers.


This coat design is based on a German military over coat which would have been worn as additional protection to uniform. As such it has vents for air flow at back yolk and under the arms. Ours is 1/2 lined with a blue and white spot print fabric, which sits really well along side the 11oz Yarn Dye stripe cotton 'ticking' fabric. The stripe fabric, a classic which would usually be used for overalls and work wear plays out a good contrast on this military garment to offer it in a new perspective.

Large centre front chest pocket and button off hood features along with under arm and shoulder vents.

Back Veiw, showing self fabric ties to 'cinch' the garment in to shape waist. (note: Ties can also be concealed at inside of  garment.)


Our thinking continued down the line of wanting to offer only outer wear garments which age along with their owner, so to help this process we added a pigment effect to the surface of the fabric, increasing it's ability to age well. Over time, the seams will hold their dark colour, while the body and sleeves and other areas of stress and use will fade like any other working fabric. 

We have also used painted buttons on all of our outer wear, which will age along with the garment.

Contrast 1/2 lining, in blue & white spot fabric.


Our branding is our simple leather badge, heat branded with our logo. Simple and not intrusive.
