FREEWHEELERS 14OZ 507XX TYPE 2 DENIM JACKET (1951 VERSION)
Even better than vintage! This season we are proud to bring you Freewheelers' classic 507xx 14oz Type 2 Denim Jacket!
When we first experienced this denim many years ago in their LOT 601XX 1951, we were shocked by the level of attention to detail and texture of the denim! The pattern is based on the famous Levi's type II jacket design beloved by 50s movie stars & rockers alike!
Freewheelers specially-developed 140z denim has been slowly woven on vintage shuttle looms to produce the perfect weight, slightly neppy textured fabric with tasteful vertical patterns! The denim has been yarn-dyed indigo resulting in some of the most beautiful sky-blue fading we have ever seen!
Upon first glance, one of the standout details is the prominent, enamel-coated riveted buttons. The enamel itself will gradually fade to a lighter shade and chip with long term usage resembling some of the rarest vintage Levi's examples. Such a tasteful detail! The rear side adjusters allow for the perfect fit and compliment the overall silhouette. Compared with Freewheelers Type I jacket, this features a slightly larger collar design which adds to the tasteful vibe! For the largest sizes, FW has slightly altered the pattern to include a T-back - just like some vintage Levis samples!
If you plan on rocking the full Canadian Tuxedo, we think this denim jacket matches beautifully with Freewheelers 601XX 1951 denim jeans!
If you are looking for one of the highest-end versions of the timeless type II denim jacket, Freewheelers is it!

FREEWHEELERS N-1 1940S NAVAL DECK JACKET (DARK KHAKI BEIGE)
The KING is back on DECK!
The famous N-1 Deck jacket is the pinnacle of USN gears for so many Made in Japan brand collectors. FW may be the only one who truly takes it to the top level. Each season they strive to bring it to a new level. This season, we would love to show this Dark Khaki Beige colourway!
Specially developed by FW, the outer shell's jungle cloth deck fabric is so unique! It's densely woven using vintage machines and has a substantial feeling, unlike other brands whose deck fabric feels more flimsy and loose. It's skillfully coated with a waxy finish that not only provides water and windproof seal, it also creates a smoother surface and will maintain over time, much longer than cheaper versions. The yarn-dyed colourway will gradually reveal soft contrast with time, even more, exaggerated than those classic photos you see of those USN gentlemen standing on deck in the cold weather.
The inner lining is another step above the standard. Made using a blend of sheep and alpaca wool, the lining is soft like cashmere and gentle on your skin without the typical irritation you'd get from other brands. They've also re-inforced this lining with heavy cotton interlining for increased durability and weather resistance.
Constructed with a double fastened storm flap, you'll always be in control of your body temp with the heavy urea buttons and vintage Waldes style zip. The cuffs feature the iconic ribbed openings, made from vintage knitting machines to keep the wind out of your sleeves without feeling uncomfortably tight. To regulate your inner temp, the underarms feature metal eyelets.
Flip-up the collar for a USN look with the 'V' stitching details. If you've been waiting for that top-level N-1, this is it!
