SV DENIM 1ST TYPE JACKET F2466 - Indigo

Woven in Japan on vintage shuttle looms from carefully selected pure cotton yarn, this selvedge denim jacket pays meticulous tribute to the legendary American "Type 1" work jacket. Its exclusive mid-to-heavyweight fabric features a slightly irregular, grainy (slubby) texture, dyed in a deep indigo designed to develop intense, contrasting fade nuances over the years. The piece faithfully recreates the original historical details: a pleated front panel with stitched ease pleats on either side of the button placket, a low-set patch chest pocket with or without a flap, vintage-inspired riveted metal buttons, reinforced cuffs and the iconic cinch back with a metal hook buckle.

A centerpiece of the workwear and heritage wardrobe, this denim jacket instantly creates a raw, authentic look. It layers naturally over a heavy jersey white crew-neck t-shirt, a brushed flannel shirt or a fine merino wool turtleneck, pairing just as harmoniously with corduroy work trousers, olive ripstop fatigue pants or heavy twill chinos, completed by oiled leather boots or work shoes.

Hailing from Kojima, the historic birthplace of Japanese denim in Okayama Prefecture, F.O.B Factory perpetuates a tradition of manufacturing excellence where every step is carried out locally. From spinning on vintage looms to meticulous sewing on Vintage Union Special machines, the Japanese label favors uncompromising artisanal processes, creating durable utility pieces designed to patina elegantly with the passage of time.
