Deluxeware DX40153 12.5oz "Stripe Indigo" Type I Jacket

DELUXEWARE DX40153 12.5oz Stripe Indigo Denim Jacket

The DX40153 is DeluxeWare's interpretation of the iconic First Model denim jacket, crafted from an exclusive 12.5oz striped indigo denim woven on traditional shuttle looms in Ibara, Okayama—Japan's renowned denim-producing region. Rather than simply replicating a vintage garment, DeluxeWare combines authentic period-correct details with modern craftsmanship and fit refinement. The result is a jacket that honours its heritage while offering improved comfort and wearability for today's enthusiast.

The fabric features a unique indigo-on-indigo construction, using rope-dyed slub yarns for the warp and cheese-dyed slub yarns for the weft. This combination creates remarkable depth and character, developing rich vertical fading and distinctive patina with continued wear. Faithful vintage details include the classic chest pleats, back cinch, folded seam construction, period-correct collar shape, and traditional panel layout. While retaining these hallmark features, DeluxeWare has carefully re-engineered the overall silhouette to achieve a cleaner, more contemporary fit. Designed with a regular shoulder profile, boxy body shape, and three-dimensional armholes for enhanced mobility, the DX40153 delivers the timeless appeal of a vintage denim jacket without sacrificing modern comfort.
