This classic Type I denim jacket combines heritage and modern craftsmanship. Constructed from 15.5oz Japanese selvedge denim made from hand-picked Zimbabwe cotton, it features a boxy silhouette with action pleats and a single chest pocket. The durability of copper rivets and a unique buckle-back adjuster enhance functionality, while the heavier denim offers warmth for cooler days. Ideal for layering or solo wear, this jacket embodies timeless style and exceptional quality, perfect for year-round wear.
From the brand: The Type I is the original denim jacket, with origins dating back to the early 1900s, when it was originally designed and produced as workwear for the American labourer - ranchers, miners, and blue collar workers of all sorts adopted the workwear "blouse," as they were known up until the late 1930s, when the Type 1 was showcased in a ranchwear catalogue as a jacket. Officially introduced in 1905 by Levi's, the Type 1 was a more finished, structured version of the pleated workwear blouses that came before it, featuring a boxy shape and a pleated front with a single chest pocket and a rear buckle-back size adjuster.
This 15.5oz Japanese selvedge denim is Full Count's heavier weight alternative to their original 13.7oz selvedge, woven from thick, textured #6x#6 Zimbabwe cotton yarns, which gives this fabric a bit more weight, texture, and roughness relative to Full Count's original selvedge denim. Zimbabwe cotton is quite popular amongst Japanese denim makers due to the traditional qualities inherited by a jean made from its yarns, ageing and feeling like a true pair of vintage denim would. Woven at a low tension on vintage shuttle looms for a classic texture, this mid-heavy weight fabric holds up excellently while ageing incredibly, offering some beautiful vintage blues and texture as the jeans are washed and worn. The heavier nature of this denim serves well on chillier days, while remaining a very wearable year-round weight and with a satisfying break-in.
