2nd Type Denim Jacket

DJ-697 2nd Type Denim Jacket

13.5oz Denim Cotton 100%

Sizes 38 and 42 are sold out.

This is a reproduction of a denim jacket with two pocket flaps, originally made during the mid-century period from the 1950s to the early 1960s , with Dry Bones' interpretation.

The reason why denim from the 1950s is considered the pinnacle among enthusiasts is because of the beauty of this second type.

The front has symmetrical pleats, and rivets are used to reinforce the pocket openings and cuffs.

There are also tuck buttons on both sides of the back for adjusting the size, giving it a more sophisticated design that is different from the first one.

At the time, denim jackets were made with a narrow denim fabric, so some sizes did not have enough space in the back, and sizes 44 and above required a pattern making technique known as "saibara," in which the flank area was cut separately.

At Dry Bones, we apply this sibara to all sizes, creating an even more "rare size" feel.

In addition, the length is slightly longer than the vintage version from that time.

This is because the lengths of the garments from that time were extremely short, so we adjusted the length to suit modern bottoms.

Furthermore, it has evolved from the vintage open collar type and now features a small stand collar called a ura-koshi.

This part makes a huge difference in how the collar settles.

The denim is made of 13.5 oz uneven yarn denim with a 7 count warp thread and a 6 count weft thread.

Enjoy the changes over time, such as the vertical fading that is unmistakable from the original.
