FORT DENISON – Handwoven Raw Silk Jacket
A Monument in Style. Woven in History.
Before Sydney Harbour was adorned with its modern skyline, Fort Denison stood as a towering sandstone monolith, known to the Eora people as ‘Mat-te-wan-ye’. Rising 49 feet (15m) from the waters, it was an unmissable landmark, until the early European settlers dismantled it, using its stone to build Sydney’s first port and Circular Quay—mere moments from where Joe Bananas’ Australian flagship now stands in The Rocks.
Ironically, the prison-turned-military-fort was later rebuilt using sandstone from the Harbour’s North Shore, forever embedding Sydney’s layered history within its walls. Inspired by this forgotten past, the Fort Denison Raw Silk Jacket reflects its legacy through a textured herringbone weave, where sandy peaks rise and fall like the monolith once did from the Harbour.
A timeless classic, this piece captures the rugged beauty of Sydney’s past with a modern, effortless elegance.
HOW TO WEAR IT
- Dress It Up – White linen trousers, a crisp white linen shirt, and clean white sneakers—topped off with a sunhat for ultimate coastal sophistication.
- Dress It Down – An earthy or tonal printed shirt, paired with our finest Newport Yacht Club silk twill trousers, will set you sailing in effortless style.
FUN FACT:
Completed in 1857, Fort Denison is home to the only Martello Tower ever built in Australia and the last one constructed within the British Empire—a symbol of both defense and history, preserved in stone.
LIMITED HANDWOVEN EDITION
Handwoven over 200-300 days, with only 8-10 jackets per weave, this piece is as rare and historically rich as the sandstone that inspired it.
- Handwoven raw silk – textured, robust, and timeless.
- Sandy hues woven in a signature herringbone pattern – reflecting the monolith’s rise and fall.
- A perfect balance of history and modernity – bold yet classic, refined yet effortless.
Like Fort Denison, this jacket is a monument in style—anchored in history, designed for today, and destined to be remembered. Extremely limited—secure yours before it vanishes into legend.
