The Dehen X Rivet & Hide Flyer’s Club Jacket is a piece of heritage kit fit for a fighter ace
words Will HALBERT
There’s something quite wholesome to the spirit of collaboration, don’t you think? The idea of two creative forces coming together to make something that sings of both parties’ personalities, whilst still managing to create something truly unique.
Take the Dehen X Rivet & Hide Flyer’s Club Jacket, for instance. A spin on a spin, if you will, this collaborative jacket from Portland-based, heritage knitwear company, Dehen 1920, and purveyors of rare denim, Rivet & Hide, offers up a solid example of what both parties do best.
The original Dehen Flyer’s Club Jacket takes its stylistic cues from the military flight jackets of yesteryear by harnessing the ruggedly utilitarian charm of both the MA-1 and the B-15 flight jackets. This exclusive Rivet & Hide variant, however, dials the luxury element up a notch by swapping out Dehen’s classic, cotton canvas outer for a hefty-yet-soft, 24oz Melton wool (sourced from the family-owned Pendleton Mills of Oregon, no less). A heavyweight, safety orange, satin lining adds a pop of colour, while a subtle Rivet & Hide logo – expertly embroidered on the jacket’s inner placket – offers up one final, custom flourish.
A grail piece and then some, the Dehen X Rivet & Hide Custom Flyer’s Club Jacket can be found turning heads and dropping jaws at Rivet & Hide’s Manchester and London stores. EJ
