Fifty pieces exist. Each is numbered, registered, and ships with a wax-sealed certificate of provenance. Once a number is claimed, it does not return to inventory.

The shell is 10.5oz cotton canvas, waxed at Fairfield Textile — one of the last American mills still producing waxed cloth domestically. The wax is worked into the weave, not coated on top. It ages differently with every wearer. Scratches buff out. Rain beads off. The color deepens over decades.
The collar facing and pocket reinforcements are cut from Horween Chromexcel — the tannery's signature pull-up leather, tanned in Chicago using a century-old process. It starts firm and softens with wear. The natural oils in the hide mean it never needs conditioning. It tells time better than a watch.
Each button is cut and tumbled from natural American horn — no two are identical in pattern. Horn buttons have been used in quality American workwear since the 1880s. They do not crack like shell, do not melt like plastic. They are attached with a four-hole lockstitch and can be replaced individually if ever needed.
A jacket this material-dense is only as good as its construction. Every spec below exists because something cheaper fails.
| Size | Chest | Shoulder | Length | Sleeve |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 40" | 17.5" | 27" | 25.5" |
| M | 42" | 18.5" | 28" | 26" |
| L | 44" | 19.5" | 29" | 26.5" |
| XL | 46" | 20.5" | 30" | 27" |
Measurements are of the garment laid flat, doubled. Model wears M.
The jacket is cut and sewn at TEG in Los Angeles — a cut-and-sew shop with a long record on small-run American production. This run is 50 pieces. That is a short run by any standard, and TEG agreed to take it because the materials are worth sewing carefully.
Every cutter and operator who touches the jacket is on-site in LA. No subcontracting, no offshore finishing. The lead time on this run is 10–12 weeks from reservation close.
The jacket arrives in a packaging system designed to match the object inside it.
Magnetic-lid rigid box, matte black exterior, uncoated natural interior. Reusable for storage.
The box is sealed with a Quillon wax stamp. Break it once. The seal closes the edition run.
A folded letterpress card with the supply chain: mill names, locations, founding years, and the jacket's edition number.
Sixteen-page saddle-stitched booklet. The full Quillon story, the mill portraits, the philosophy behind the numbered edition system.
Organic cotton muslin dust bag, GOTS-certified. For long-term storage between seasons.
FSC-certified kraft outer carton. No plastic cushioning, no excess fill. The rigid box protects the jacket; the carton protects the box.
Every jacket ships with a wax-sealed certificate of provenance — a museum accession-style record of the object's complete origin chain: the mill, the tannery, the cut shop, the edition number, and the date it was made. Not a hang tag. Not a card insert. A document.
The certificate includes a field for the owner's name, filled in by hand before shipping. It is the only paperwork that will outlast the jacket.
