Sundazed (Germany) 80s Coated Plain Weave Harrington Jacket

Sundazed (Germany) 80s Coated Plain Weave Harrington Jacket SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos ...This German-made men’s Harrington jacket from the 1980s—cut from a coated plain-weave polycotton blend (65% polyester, 35% cotton) and rendered in a subdued steel blue-grey—exemplifies a postwar civilian-militarist synthesis grounded in infrastructural restraint, material pragmatism, and patternmaking precision. Its fabrication logic is anchored in a dry, matte coating, likely derived from a polyurethane or resin finish, engineered not for superficial gloss but for enhanced weather resistance—offering wind and moisture deflection while maintaining fiber pliancy. The surface avoids the high-sheen brittleness of denser synthetics, instead embodying the sensorial intelligence of weather-adapted coatings seen in the contemporary textile engineering of Phigvel Makers Co., Comoli, Auralee, and Tilak Urban, where fiber-skin interaction supersedes performative luster. In this context, the jacket stands as both protective interface and chromatically muted shell—delivering functionality without visual inflation, tactility without synthetic excess. Structurally, the garment adheres to a rigorous functionalist logic. The cropped, slightly boxy silhouette facilitates ergonomic layering; the raglan sleeve configuration allows unobstructed articulation without disrupting visual continuity.
