Fashion label Fear of God introduces the Cotton Canvas and Suede work jacket as a part of the Spring 2019 collection as the perfect transition piece to ease into the warmer seasons. The jacket's design features utilitarian design elements that are translated through the tonal makeup, the construction, and the overall design. The outerwear item features a mix of fabric materials including cotton canvas across the body and soft suede leather across the spread collar. It is complete in an all-over tan color to create a versatile aesthetic.
The fit of the piece is slightly oversized and has a faded finish to evoke more of a workwear element. Additional details include the barrel single-snap cuffs, the snap tab at the hem, back shoulder gusset, and dropped shoulders.
