The Flat Head "Left-Hand Twill" Zimbabwe Cotton14.5oz 40's Denim Jacket

The Flat Head FN-OJ-D101 14.5oz Left-Hand Twill Zimbabwe Cotton Denim Jacket – 1940s Model

While Levi’s-inspired jackets often take the spotlight, the timeless character of vintage Lee 101 jackets remains undeniable. With the FN-OJ-D101, the Flat Head delivers a meticulous “Made in Japan” interpretation of the classic 1940s Lee-style denim jacket—executed with exceptional attention to detail and craftsmanship. Crafted from 14.5oz left-hand twill denim woven with extra-long staple Zimbabwe cotton, the fabric offers a remarkably soft yet resilient hand. Produced slowly on vintage shuttle looms, the left-hand twill construction mirrors the texture of original Lee 101 denim and encourages pronounced vertical fading as the jacket ages.

Authentic 1940s-inspired details define the design: a curved left chest pocket, single-needle box stitching running horizontally across the front placket, and doughnut-style iron buttons with riveted reinforcement. Double-needle seam construction and chain-stitched finishing ensure durability while maintaining period-correct aesthetics.The result is a jacket that balances rugged vintage spirit with The Flat Head’s renowned precision—a timeless piece that will develop striking character with wear.
