The Latin phrase omne trium perfectum translates to “everything that comes in threes is perfect.” While the majority of us may need to brush up on our Latin, most folks are familiar with the more commonly known Rule of Three, which reflects a human tendency to find groups of three pleasing, catchy and complete.

Ancient philosophy, religion and literature are filled with examples of this preference, and now there’s an apparel-based example to add to the list: the third collaboration between Nashville-born denim and clothing brand Imogene + Willie and Seattle-based, family-owned Crescent Down Works.

The four-piece capsule collection is rich with thoughtful details and excellent craftsmanship, but one jacket stands out from the rest, despite its camouflaged appearance.

Stand out while blending in

The Quilted Camo Jacket uses Crescent Down Works’ technical down jacket as its base, leaning on cozy and capable 700 fill goose down to keep things warm and toasty.

CDW’s 50 years of technical expertise are complemented by design aesthetics based on Imogene + Willie’s beloved CPO Shirt, which supplies the vintage military details and blends those with elements of traditional Western workwear.

Not your average outerwear for many reasons, the Quilted Camo Jacket’s every detail is considered. The exterior eschews the synthetic material typical of most down jackets and instead utilizes a USA-made, 100-percent cotton super-heavy vertical slub fabric, which adds a unique tactile sensation and eliminates the annoying rustling and crinkling of a standard insulated jacket.

That cotton exterior has Imogene + Willie’s proprietary painted camo pattern rotary-printed onto the fabric, which is then overdyed for an even more standout look. Square quilted baffles offer more individuality, and the similarly stitched orange lining is wind-resistant and streak-free for carefree wear.

Finally, small details including the left chest pocket, side hand warmer pockets, front snap closures with leather reinforcements and the custom I+W x Crescent Down Works label elevate this jacket beyond the expected, making it a quality-focused piece that can be worn for years to come.

Patterned, cut and sewn in the USA, the Quilted Camo Jacket is rich in American manufacturing and combines both heritage details and very modern techniques.
