Introducing the Lot 506XX Type-1 Jacket from Freewheelers, crafted from 14oz indigo denim, echoing styles from the late 1940s. This jacket showcases a snug fit with timeless features including an engraved button front, flap pocket, and cinch back for waist adjustment. Designed for durability and character, it may display natural rust on buttons, enhancing its vintage appeal. A must-have for enthusiasts of classic Americana, blending style with authentic craftsmanship.
From the brand: Introducing the Lot 506XX, also known as the Type-1 Jacket, from Freewheelers' "THE VANISHING WEST" collection. This model faithfully replicates the details found in jackets from around 1946-1947 and is made from 14oz indigo denim.
The jacket features a single chest pocket with a flap, and a single-sided name tag. The buttons are original, engraved with "The Vanishing West" branding, and some may come with a bit of rust from the start due to the nature of the product—please note this as part of its character. The rivets are also engraved, and the front pleats include box stitching. For waist adjustment, the jacket has a cinch back with a prong-style buckle, and it comes with a leather patch.
In terms of fit, the jacket is designed to be snug around the shoulders and shorter in length. While slightly longer compared to the original design, it still maintains the same tailored and short silhouette. If you plan to layer with thicker items like a sweatshirt or sweater, opting for one size larger may be better.
This model has been one of Freewheelers Co.'s top sellers and remains a staple in their permanent collection. It's a classic piece that embodies the brand's timeless style, making it an essential addition to any wardrobe. Truly, this is a must-have item for anyone who appreciates vintage-inspired craftsmanship.
