Up for sale is a premium Harrington-style blouson jacket from the luxury Canadian outfitter Normandy & Monroe. Known for dressing Hollywood A-listers and heads of state, Normandy & Monroe specialized in high-performance natural fabrics and exceptional craftsmanship.

The Fabric: 100% Ventile Cotton

The standout feature of this jacket is the Single Layer Ventile construction. Originally developed for RAF pilots, Ventile is a legendary high-density weave of long-staple cotton.

• Natural Performance: It is highly water-resistant and windproof without the use of synthetic coatings—the fibers swell when wet to create a physical barrier against the elements.

• Breathability: Unlike plastic-based rain shells, Ventile remains incredibly breathable and comfortable.

• Durability: Built to last a lifetime and develops a beautiful character over time.
