As it was 80 years ago – a jacket for all occasions.

This is a garment in the style of the 1920s and 30s – made of wool, with a stylish, rather sporty cut. Fox Brothers in Somerset have woven this cloth for us out of medium-weight (600g.) pure new wool using the traditional methods of 80 years ago. At that time there was no way of separating the more delicate fibres of the lower layer of wool, before spinning, from the coarser, whitish hair of the harder outer wool fibres. This earlier kind of wool could be spun into a relatively stiff yarn which in turn produced a pretty sturdy, resilient cloth combining all the good qualities of sheep's wool in nature – warm, and resistant to wind and rain.

The first 4-stroke (Otto) combustion engines were produced in 1876, and, under the name Deutz AG, as it came to be called, diesel-powered tractors in 1927. Deutz changed the construction method of its tractors in 1933 from frame to block construction, and the F2M 315 was the first of this type to come off the production line. » to the product...
