Blake 12oz Waxed Cotton Travel Jacket

Blake 12oz Waxed Cotton Travel Jacket

A Rugged, Tailored Travel Jacket — Handmade in England

The Blake is our idea of the perfect travel jacket: a refined take on the classic barn-jacket style, smart enough to wear over a suit, but relaxed and roomy enough for everyday use. It’s slightly less “outdoorsy” in appearance than many waxed jackets, with a tailored look that still feels casual and comfortable.

Most waxed jackets are made from lighter 8oz cloth. The Blake is built from a heavier 12oz Everwax Vintage waxed cotton, chosen for its rugged handle, richer drape, and quietly confident presence. The fabric is supplied by Halley Stevensons (Scotland), renowned for producing some of the best waxed cotton in the world.

Pockets & Practicality

The Blake is designed to be genuinely useful. The distinctive, oversized lower pockets are double-sized and split down the middle — effectively giving you four lower pockets — plus an additional pocket above. Inside, you’ll find two internal pockets: one zipped, and one with a pocket flap. At the rear, there’s a double-opening game pocket with flaps for extra storage on the move.

Collar Options

The jacket comes with a corduroy collar as standard, with the option to upgrade at checkout to leather or nubuck suede.

Made by Us, In-House

As with all English Utopia garments, the Blake is made entirely by us — we don’t outsource to factories. Design, pattern cutting and fabrication are all carried out in-house in our own workshop. If you’d like any tweaks to the style, we’re happy to adjust details where possible.
