Sashiko Type II Jacket - Indigo
Japan Blue Jeans - 2nd Type Jacket - Indigo Sashiko
When we saw this jacket in person, we just couldn't say no. Sashiko is a soft spot for us (and just about every other denim head in the world. We think this 11oz one wash sashiko fabric lends to the Type 2 Jacket. It's light enough to wear as a second layer and throw something even heavier over the top. The texture on sashiko is unlike anything else in the world of heritage. The layers create texture that will fade with highs and lows that will make peaks and valleys jealous.

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). There is a little bit of extra length in this piece, so you don't have to worry about it being to short above the waistline.
Apparel
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.
