13oz Kuroki Selvedge Zip Jacket - Rinsed Indigo
COF Studio - 13oz Kuroki Selvedge Zip Jacket - Rinsed Indigo
This iconic blend of jackets grabbed us right away. It's got the pleating of a jacket from late 1800's and early 1900's. They changed the bar tacks on this piece to round tacks, which we think is an iconic touch. The origins of this style are pretty incredible. It was typically used so farmers could let out their pleating in the winter when they had packed on the pounds to stay warm. They mixed it up quite a bit by adding a zipper and hand warmer pockets making it more like a trucker. The polished silver snaps are also an incredible touch. And, you can't forget the adjustable snaps in the back. This thing is a true icon. With that single rinse, its comfy from the get which is something we could all use a little more of right now. We love the square pockets, we love the leather zipper pull, and we love the contrast stitching. The jacket is grail. Don't let it get away.

Fit Notes: COF Studio has been known to fit a bit roomier. We find that that is true with this piece as it's a trucker, but this is one time we would really recommends ticking with your true size. Tommy is wearing a Medium here and it seems to fit perfect. You want a trucker style jacket like this to fit with plenty of room underneath for a flannel. Tommy is 5'10," 170lbs with a 40" chest.

It's been some time since we've had indigo denim from Freenote, and we couldn't think of a better introduction than this blue/brown. If you know anything about our preferences, you know we love an earth-tone weft. Well, it doesn't get any more earthy than this. The brown on these is deeper than any we've seen from persimmon, turmeric, or catechu dyes in the past. It's a true mocha-colored brown that we think makes for one hell of a stylistic denim. The contrast between indigo and brown is a lot less harsh than that of a traditional jean, and this makes for a better-looking cuff in our opinion. It's also right in our sweet spot for weight. We really dig anything between 14-16oz. It has the perfect amount of crunch to give you all of those wonderful lines around the legs without being so hard to break in. This is the fabric we've been waiting for Freenote to work with for years!

CD-4 Jacket - Black
When we saw this fabric, even via catalog images, we knew we had to have it in the shop. It's such a unique twist for the guys at Freenote that lends to a more contemporary look. If you're like us, you'll think this baby is waxed up front. Crazy enough, it's not. This is a double pigment dyed fabric from Japan that gives off the look of a waxed piece, without all the upkeep of a waxed piece. It has a nice crunchy texture to it that even feels waxed in person. We couldn't believe our ears when they told us about it at a recent show. It's lined throughout the body with Alpaca and the sleeves have this gorgeous burnt orange satin. This thing is truly luxurious. It's so warm and looks so damn good. It functions like an N-1 at about half the price!
Jepson Sashiko Plaid - Indigo
The Jepson is a known staple at this point, but their ability to make it look new with every release is pretty astonishing. We said that last time but they've done it again. A mix of sashiko and plaid is almost too much to handle. It's a classic 2 pocket shirt that can be worn with almost anything. It has so many layers to explore right now, and even more, will expose its true nature once the indigo starts to fade. This baby is a standalone piece that doesn't really need other layers to make it pop.
Kurt Jacket - Indigo Single Stripe
The single stripe has become a staple at the shop over the last couple of years, but always in pant form. When we saw this classic chore coat-style work jacket come up, we couldn't say no. This fabric always constructs so nicely and the indigo pops like crazy when it's hit with the one wash. We are super intrigued by the mismatched pockets and all the extra sewing work throughout. The extra pockets and banded collar are the extra details that draw you in, but most people stay for that gorgeous Japanese fabric.
