Japan Blue Jeans Type 2 Denim Jacket - 12.5oz

Japan Blue's Type 2 Denim Jacket takes one of the most iconic denim jacket designs ever produced and adapts it for modern wear. While the jacket retains the key details associated with vintage Type 2 styles, the addition of handwarmer pockets makes it considerably more practical for everyday use without compromising its heritage inspired appearance.

The jacket is constructed from Japan Blue's 12.5oz selvedge denim, woven using African cotton and blended with naturally coloured brown cotton fibres. This unique combination recreates the subtle tones and character found in denim from the early twentieth century, a period that coincided with the widespread adoption of synthetic indigo dyes. The result is a fabric with exceptional depth and authenticity, offering a distinctly vintage appearance from the outset.

Delivered in a rigid, unwashed state, the denim is designed to evolve with wear. At 12.5oz, it provides enough structure to develop strong fading characteristics while remaining comfortable enough for year round use. The relaxed fit allows for easy layering over shirts, sweatshirts, or knitwear, making it a versatile option regardless of season. As the fabric softens and moulds to the wearer, it develops the personalised character that has made raw denim jackets enduring wardrobe staples.
