Expedition Jacket
Percy Fawcett Amazonia
Product Description
The “Percy Fawcett” jacket is a wearable homage to the spirit of discovery. Inspired by British
explorer Percy Fawcett, who vanished in the Amazon in 1925 while searching for the mythical “Lost City of Z,” this piece pays tribute to the enigmatic allure of the rainforest. The jacket’s utilitarian design with its multiple pockets evokes the practicality needed for expeditions like Fawcett’s, while its hand-embroidered flora and fauna reflect the vibrant biodiversity encountered on Seabourn’s Amazon River tours.
Each illustration on the jacket corresponds to a visual moment from the journey:
- A Scarlet Macaw (blue and red bird), a symbol of the Amazon’s canopy.
- A Harpy Eagle (black and white bird), one of the most powerful raptors in the world, often heard screeching “Harp! Harp!” through the forest.
- A Green Iguana “Iguana iguana”, basking on the riverbanks.
- A “Jaguar”, the apex predator of the rainforest.
- Poison Dart Frogs (Dendrobatidae), small but vividly colorful and often spotted near the forest floor.
- Palm trees, broad-leaved plants, and twisting lianas, representing the dense vegetation that explorers and travelers alike encounter.
- Geographic markers like “Manaus” and GPS coordinates root the piece in the real geography of the Seabourn itinerary.
This haute couture piece is more than a garment. It’s a map, a story, and a memory of the Amazon’s beauty and mystery, designed for the modern traveler with the soul of an adventurer.
