A smart casual red brick (brique) cotton canvas jacket for men, made by French label Saint James, also stocked in navy blue. A great quality single breasted garment, straight cut with two large front pockets, a small one on the chest and a small internal one, unlined, buttoned up, collar, with the label embroidered on the inside back and one small label tag sewn on the left pocket.
Very well made. Perfect for the seaside and just as suitable for a urban relaxed look if you are after a French work or chore jacket type.
100% cotton canvas, machine washable, 30 degree C, delicate cycle
OTHER COLOUR: navy blue
Sizing from small to XXXL.
Important point: the manufacturer made some changes to the design late 2019. The overall design has been simplified, shortened in body length and the sleeve length has slightly been adjusted too. The small internal pocket is now on the chest with the threads showing through, on the same level as the small external pocket.
If you are replacing your old jacket, it is imperative that you button up your jacket and measure pit to pit x 2, to compare with our garment's measurements below to assess which new size is the closest. Check as well the length as it was shortened with the 2020 production.

I bought the navy blue version of this jacket about eighteen months ago. I use it at work and I absolutely love it. Everything about the jacket is great: nice big pockets and enough of them, lovely shape, comfortable, hard-wearing. The jacket is truly bullet proof, I've worn it everyday to work and it has not worn or come apart. Anyway, I love the jacket so much I have now acquired the one in red for casual wear. The jacket is exactly like the navy blue one regarding material and fit. The colour, however, is not quite as light as shown in the picture. The colour is somewhat darker, more towards a rusty burgundy. I really like this as I was going to dye it but now I don't have to. Yay!Susan O. (2 Mar 2025, 19:56)
