The body fit is based on vintage workwear pieces, but modified to be slightly longer in the sleeves and body than the references. It’s still roomy through the body and shoulders for ease of movement.
The generous front pockets were found in old car club and Drizzler-style jackets from prominent manufacturers in the ’40s and ’50s. This take on the style uses rayon twill pocket bags to give a refined feel.
The 12.5oz selvedge denim fabric is a unique blend. The vintage looms used to make this fabric have extra-large bobbins, resulting in fewer breaks in the fabric as it’s being woven. The warp side uses Sally Fox Organic Cotton, while the weft side uses linen yarns. The combination of yarns gives the fabric a rich, soft feel from the cotton, with better breathability and drape from the linen.
