Warehouse & Co. - Lot 2001XX - Type I Jacket W/Blanket Liner - Indigo

In recent times, the concept of vintage clothing has evolved. What was once considered special during the vintage boom of the 1970s is now considered a thing of the past in the 2020s. With the passage of time, the availability of old items has been steadily decreasing, and items made before the 1950s are now becoming rare and precious. This is precisely why it is important for Warehouse to "perfectly reproduce" vintage rare items so that the fact that such rare items existed in the past can be passed on to future generations.

The jacket being introduced is one such rare item. It is a model with a liner, which was only manufactured for a very short time. The actual jacket being reproduced has a T-shaped split back and a faded pocket tag. Denim jackets with liners have been historically made by other companies since the 1930s. At that time, Avondale's blankets boasted a high wool blend, but the shrinkage rate was a problem, so they were made into a plush material without sewing. Later on, manufacturers known for Troy blankets began blending wool, cotton, and rayon, and then synthetic materials were used, and the sewing specifications changed.

The blanket liner of the 1st model being released this time is made of 82% wool and 18% cotton, taking into account the color and feel of the denim as well as the balance of fading, while also keeping in mind the deadstock blue denim. This rare jacket model was obtained and thoroughly analyzed. By researching the historical background of how they were made, Warehouse was able to achieve a "repro" that still retains the atmosphere of the time. They hope that customers will appreciate this rare model and feel the thoughts of the creator by holding it in their own hands.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 38, or small in this piece. Like most Warehouse jackets, these are built to reproduction spec sizing. Jackets of this time were pretty roomy, and Tomy was able to size down and still have a somewhat oversized look in this piece. If you're looking for something a little trimmer, don't be afraid to experiment with the next size down. But do keep in mind the shrink rate listed above. Tommy is 5'10", 170lbs with a 40" chest.
