Description

The Nessie Jacket in Dark Blue (Unwashed) is pure premium. Crafted from 100% heavyweight cotton drill, this piece has real substance – structured, beautifully tailored and designed to hold its shape. The rich, unwashed dark blue gives it a refined, elevated finish that instantly smartens up whatever you pair it with.

There’s a subtle nod to 70s safari styling – very early Yves Saint Laurent energy – with its structured silhouette and belt detail. It feels strong, confident and timeless. Perfect layered now, and just as perfect thrown over a vest or cami with jeans come spring.

Features

• Fit: Structured and tailored
• Fabric: 100% Heavyweight Cotton Drill – premium, durable and long-lasting
• Colour: Dark Blue (Unwashed)
• Detail: Button-through front with waist belt
• Feel: Substantial, high-quality fabric that holds its shape
• Season: Ideal for layering now and transitioning into spring

Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30°C
• Wash inside out to protect the deep indigo tone
• Do not tumble dry
• Cool iron if required

This fabric is designed to last and only improves with wear.

Size Guide

This is structured cotton drill with no stretch, so fit across the shoulders and bust is key.

  • Sue (5'0", UK 6) wears the 34. It gives her a neat, tailored silhouette without feeling boxy on her petite frame. She keeps it relaxed by wearing it open or buckling the belt at the back.
  • Hil (5'3", UK 10/12) wears the 36 for a clean, shaped fit. On a bloated day (hello, perimenopause), she comfortably moves to the 38 to avoid any pulling across the bust or midsection. The structured cotton doesn’t stretch, so that extra room makes all the difference while still looking polished.

General Rule: With heavyweight cotton drill, choose the size that fits smoothly when buttoned. It won’t stretch, but it will soften over time while maintaining its premium structure.

Why We Love It

We love the quality – you can feel it immediately. The weight of the cotton drill gives it that almost designer-level finish. It defines the waist beautifully when cinched but looks just as chic worn loose.

It’s also a brilliant transitional piece. Layer it over a polo neck now, then swap to camis and denim as the weather softens. It’s investment dressing done properly.

Styling Suggestions

Hil’s Look – Cinched & 70s Chic: Hil (5'3", UK 10/12) wears the 36 (or 38 when she wants extra comfort) and cinches it across the waist for that strong safari silhouette. Right now she’s layering it over a polo neck – very 70s, very early YSL runway. Add statement earrings and a bold lip and it’s instantly elevated.

Sue’s Look – Relaxed & Effortless: Sue (5'0", UK 6) wears the 34 and prefers it unbuttoned, with the belt buckled around the back for a looser shape. She’ll style it over a simple vest or cami with skinny jeans and stacked boots – easy, undone and cool.

• Cinch the waist for a strong, defined silhouette.
• Buckle the belt at the back for relaxed tailoring.
• Pair with matching dark denim for a confident tonal look.
• Swap winter knits for spring vests to take it through the seasons.
