Safari Jacket

Safari. Day 9. This jacket. Seen first as a shirt on 19th-century hunters, a case of style emerging from function. Expanding pockets for a map or a compass. Epaulettes. Some had slots for cartridges. All offered clues to a certain narrative, a certain understanding between the wearer and the world. In time, women began to wear the safari jacket, too, and it said the same things. Imagine a scenario where a woman is both hunter and gazelle. This is like that. Safari Jacket (No. 6530). Elegant over a crisp white shirt. Dazzling over a T-shirt, a tank top, or nothing. Functional everywhere. Robust cotton twill. Generous patch pockets. Epaulettes for keeping a strap (camera or purse) in place. Self-belt with sturdy metal slide. Reinforced placket and seams. Gussets at back for ease of movement. Imported. *Model is 5' 10” and is wearing a size extra small.
