Originally designed for horsemen to protect their clothing from trail dust in the late 1800's, the traditional duster was then adapted and used for protection in automobile attire. Stumbling across one of these old trench coat style jackets in a Parisian flea market, we fell in love with its detailing and silhouette dating it around 1900-1915 and were inspired to create our own Metta rendition with a modern day fit.

Featuring a full button front, generous side pockets, and raglan sleeves that are great for allowing cosy layering in the cooler months. 1915 Duster Jacket’s sleeves are finished beautifully with buttons and tab. The mid-weight linen makes the 1915 Duster a great staple for Spring and Autumn layering.

Your 1915 Duster Jacket will arrive pre-washed, the linen will be soft and more crumpled as we do not iron after washing. With each and every wear your 1915 Duster Jacket will soften, showcasing the gorgeous European Linen.

We recommend looking at the garment’s measurements in relation to your body, and also in comparison to a similar style of clothing you own. This is a great way to understand the shape and size of a style.

Metta's linen styles are made from premium European linen (grown in France, Belgium & the Netherlands), pre-washed, and ready to wear on arrival. Some are lightly pressed - within no time the fabric will soften with wear, crinkles and wrinkles will come naturally, giving it that stunning unironed look that we have all come to love. If you would like to speed up this process, we recommend popping it in the washing machine, following the washing instructions found on your garments care label, and skipping any ironing.

To our dear USA customers

From 29 August 2025, the US government will introduce new tariffs on all imported goods, regardless of value. The tariff cost will depend on where the item was made. Since Scarlet Jones works with designers from around the world, this may vary. You’ll find the country of origin listed on each product page in our online store.

In addition, there may be extra administrative costs. Based on our current logistics model, we expect:

A DHL handling fee of USD 17 per shipment or 2% of fiscal charges (this has been officially confirmed by DHL).
A possible US government processing fee, which we currently estimate to be around USD 10 per order — however, this amount has not yet been officially confirmed.

These charges (tariff + DHL fee + any US government fee) will be collected by DHL before your order is released by US Customs.

If you choose not to pay these charges, your order will return to us in Australia. In that case, we’ll process a refund less shipping and related costs.

We know this is a change, and we’re here to help you navigate it
If you have any questions, please write to us at info@scarletjones.com.au.

Thank you for your trust and patience as we adapt together.
