Mehra Jacket – Ribble Check

£195.00

The Mehra jacket is a keen favourite here at TRiCKETT. Unstructured, super-cool and can be worn year-round, we can see why it is so popular. The Mehra is always made from a premium British fabric and its versatile shape means it can be dressed up or down and looks great with jeans or tailoring. It also has lots of useful pockets. There are three front pockets – two on each side at the bottom and one on the left chest with a divider for a pen, slim cigar or a Pepperami… whatever floats your boat.

The Ribble check is inspired by countryside maps. Yes, you read that right. My grandad had a map of the local area and it showed all the major roads and places for nice walks. The red lines represented advanced walks and the yellow represented easier walks. The whole area of the Ribble Valley was dominated by lovely greens on this map so we thought we should use it as a base for our Ribble check fabric. The fabric itself is an extremely robust and hardy tweed which is almost double the weight of most of our other Mehra jackets. It is the ideal fabric for braving those harsh Lancastrian winters or for sitting by the fire at a country pub with a single malt and a snoozing labrador. We recommend for this the Inn at Whitewell, but other excellent inns are available.

For 2023, we have updated our Mehra a little and added a couple of changes. The collar is now much more like a shirt collar and comes to a point at the front, making it just a touch more versatile… it even has a swanky bit of  brown suede underneath the collar just to make it even nicer. We have our custom sausage roll pocket on the inside of the jacket, but seeing as so many of you wanted a sausage roll and phone on the inside of your jacket, you now have TWO sausage roll pockets. We have also added a herringbone strap around the inside of the jacket to give your waist a bit of structure and to reinforce the bottom pockets… it also happens to look good too. The jacket is still finished with vintage horn buttons down the front and cuffs and a TRiCKETT flag label to the chest pocket.

Upender makes these for us in Bolton and, by crikey, he does a good job. So much so he even kept one for himself… a proper compliment if you ask me. You can even watch him talking about UK manufacturing below.

This style of jacket always seems to fly out of the door, so if you want one… hop to it or get dropping hints quick!
