Lot.720 Damaged Denim Jacket C.1930'S Damaged Indigo

Single pocket denim jacket with flap and copper rivets

Denim jackets of the 1930s were characterised by patch pockets with flaps, a feature that would have represented a significant improvement in quality during a time of material scarcity. The reinforcing stitches that secure the front pleats further enhanced the garment's durability as workwear, bringing the single pocket design to its most complete form. Black coated buttons and copper rivets, details commonly used on lightweight denim of the period, are employed for historical accuracy.

The fabric is an original denim developed through close analysis of denim textiles from the era. The warp is dyed with a green cast indigo developed by Takahashi, while the weft uses a slightly ecru toned yarn. While preserving the period accurate colour balance, the yarn count is adjusted and the pick density increased.
