12.5oz - Banana Cotton Cote d'Ivoire Selvedge Type II Jacket - Indigo

Japan Blue Jeans - Banana Cotton Cote d'Ivoire Type II Jacket - Indigo

So we've been obsessed with Japan Blues Jackets after experiencing the Type 4 Ivory Coast piece. This one is quite a nice change-up. Being a Type II, it's a little more minimalist by nature. We're talking two, smaller chest flap pockets and no hand warmers like intended. This can be worn as a mid-layer in the colder months or a final layer in the spring/fall. The banana fiber is what really did it for us here. It gives the item a natural, non-forced snowy look that happens from all the loose banana fibers. What you achieve is instant texture gratification. We're also talking immediate softness! No stiff starchy beginnings on this piece. Just smooth sailing into Spring. These are fitting just a little different than the type 4 version, so pay close attention to the size chart. 

This fabric is ethically source. Banana trees are usually harvested then burned yearly. This saves those trees to be turned into fabric, one 1.5-2 times longer staple than cotton. They worked tirelessly to mix this fiber with their Cote d'Ivoire denim.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 40 or Medium in this piece. Like the rest of JBJ, this is slim but no more than usual. We have been seeing people size up one in this jacket. This thing has been rinsed so expect minimal to no shrinkage (especially if you beat it up and stretch it out first). This piece is a bit shorter than the 13.5oz modified type 4 version of it.
