This blazer is a premium tailored garment crafted from Dormeuil Sportex fabric, a renowned British suiting textile celebrated for its durability and refined texture. The collaboration between ESSGE and Gulins reflects a fusion of Scandinavian craftsmanship and Savile Row tradition, seamlessly blending British heritage textiles with Nordic precision. Featuring a structured cut, a three-button front, and a Glen plaid pattern, the design embodies classic English tailoring with an emphasis on longevity and timeless style. Its half-canvas construction ensures a structured yet flexible fit, with a reinforced chest and interfacing to maintain shape. The set-in sleeves incorporate shoulder padding to create a structured silhouette, while the full lining, complete with dual interior welt pockets, enhances both comfort and functionality. The Glen plaid pattern is woven on a twill base, incorporating fine houndstooth checks with a subtle windowpane overlay, contributing to the fabric’s textured appearance, which is a hallmark of Dormeuil’s Sportex range. Made entirely from high-quality wool, the fabric offers resilience, breathability, and a structured drape. Weighing approximately 350-450 GSM, this mid-to-heavy weight cloth is ideal for colder seasons, providing warmth while remaining breathable. The tight twill weave introduces slight elasticity, ensuring comfort without compromising structure, while the natural lanolin content in the wool provides a degree of water resistance. The blazer is fully lined with a synthetic material, likely acetate or polyester, for durability and a smooth interior finish. Craftsmanship details include precise plaid alignment across seams and pockets, reinforced stitching at key stress points, and fine hand-finished edge stitching along the lapels. The structured fit is slightly boxy, designed for formal layering with a relaxed yet defined shoulder line. A multi-panel construction incorporates a defined waist seam for shaping, ensuring a tailored appearance without excessive restriction. The notched lapel is reinforced with interfacing to retain its crisp form, and the set-in sleeves, combined with lightly padded shoulders, enhance the garment’s formal aesthetic. Precision single-needle topstitching ensures clean lines, while double-stitched interior seams provide reinforcement for long-term durability. Functional design elements include a single back vent for mobility, flap pockets with reinforced openings, and a fully lined interior that improves drape control. The intricate Glen plaid pattern demands exceptional precision in alignment, further showcasing the blazer’s high level of craftsmanship. Edge finishing is executed with bias-bound enclosed seams, while the turned-in hem is reinforced with interfacing. Cuffed sleeves feature functional buttons, adding both practicality and elegance to the design. The choice of Dormeuil fabric signifies refinement, craftsmanship, and prestige, while the structured tailoring conveys confidence, formality, and sophistication. The blazer’s aesthetic is rooted in British heritage tailoring, fused with Scandinavian precision, drawing influences from early 20th-century Savile Row menswear and Scandinavian workwear traditions. Dormeuil’s Sportex fabric, originally introduced in the early 20th century, was widely used for sportswear, military uniforms, and durable suiting, solidifying its legacy as a high-performance textile. The Glen plaid pattern, originating in the 19th-century Scottish Highlands, remains a cornerstone of British and European tailoring, continuing to be associated with refined menswear. The blazer aligns with modern vintage-inspired tailoring trends seen in brands like Drake’s, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, and other heritage-focused tailors. Its timeless design ensures it remains a staple in classic menswear, making it a versatile and enduring investment piece. This ESSGE x Dormeuil Glen Plaid Blazer exemplifies classic tailoring at its finest, combining premium British wool with Scandinavian craftsmanship in a refined, structured silhouette. The Dormeuil Sportex fabric ensures exceptional durability and an unmistakable heritage aesthetic, while the meticulous construction techniques highlight expert tailoring. This blazer is not only highly collectible but also an ideal piece for those who appreciate heritage craftsmanship, refined menswear, and investment-quality tailoring.
