The jacket's main feature is the OPACANA fabric, made with a 100% hemp canvas base. Origin of Line describes this material as highly performing in humid and rainy weather conditions and highly resistant to both flames and tears. Origin holds the patent for this fabric.
From a stylistic standpoint, the Amerigo jacket combines: a utility/military silhouette, a technical construction, high-quality finishes and Made in Italy craftsmanship.
The piece is inspired by the legacy of the Amerigo Vespucci, the historic Italian training ship that, sailing around the world, helps spread Italian culture and beauty.
The project's philosophy revolves around research on industrial hemp: Origin of Line invests directly in the cultivation, processing and experimentation of this natural fiber, developing innovative fabrics through proprietary dyeing and finishing processes.
In short, the Amerigo jacket represents: a sustainable technical garment, Italian textile innovation, contemporary utility design and an advanced use of hemp as a performance material.
