BNV Sharp Engineer | The Boneville Bag Jacket



A short stop-motion feature that takes the viewer through the Sharp Engineer's transformation from chore jacket to duffel bag. This demonstrates how Boneville garments can interlock thanks to our considerately designed KIT System; in this instance we combine the BNV 1004 Pilot's Vest, worn as a KIT Liner, and BNV 1001 Sharp Engineer as KIT Shell. 

Serving as both an outer garment and duffel bag, the indigo-dyed Sharp Engineer demonstrates a skilful marriage of both form and function. Internal cording, capable of receiving a KIT Liner, can be removed and threaded through embroidered eyelets to transform the jacket to its bag state.
Its silhouette and multi-pocket design has been derived from the study of a great range of engineer's jackets, chore coats and other working attire seen in both military and commercial settings throughout the last century.
This Italian cotton garment features a centre front secured by custom produced Boneville butcher’s buttons which can be removed and replaced as part of the Boneville KIT concept. The exterior also includes a patch pocket found on the left chest with two dual-access utility pockets below; a button closure pocket can be found inside the jacket to the wearer's right side.
The Boneville logo with nautical bands has been pigment printed on the inner back of the jacket, visible when the bag is constructed. This has been printed pre-laundering and through the launder process degrades, arriving in a delightfully weathered state on completion.
