The 'Indigo Patchwork' denim collection is here!

The type-2 is one of the most iconic denim jackets, popularised since its arrival in the 1950s. MSP, have taken this historic design back from the past with a traditional Japanese fabrication approach.

This vintage feel, indigo-dyed denim has been woven using vintage machines. To achieve the amazing 'sunny' fades, the craftsmen have applied washing and ageing processes to the product. With so many shades of indigo present and high-contrast areas with stories to tell... its a dream come true for fading fans.

Now to what you've been waiting for, the amazing patchwork decorations have been created using vintage American blankets. More than just a visual accent, the lining on the collar, cuffs and placket add a warm cosy feeling and help block the wind. The rear side features the rare 'T-Back' design for the true vintage aficionados to appreciate.

With heavily oxidised buttons and copper rivets, this one has some true character. The vintage chain stitching construction throughout has some charm with its irregular execution and takes this overall look to the next level.

We've seen many brands attempt to do 'washed' denim, but this is a whole new level... this is true, 'DEAD-STOCK' with an aged soul.

The soul of vintage type-2 reborn!

This season we would like to introduce you to SDA's special project 'MARU SANKAKU PEKE' aka OAX.

This jacket uses a combination of vintage fabrics and SDA's own specially developed denim fabric to create a truly unique garment!

The 'diamond-like' patchwork pattern on the yoke and sleeves has been skilfully hand-cut and sewn using Japanese indigo-dyed fabric from a variety of vintage denim. Each pattern will be slightly different to the next resulting in a jacket with some truly unique vintage soul! For the rest of the jacket body, SDA has chosen a sky-blue, vintage indigo, 13oz orange colour selvedge ID denim. Unlike many other brands producing pre-distressed denim, SDA has skilfully controlled the ageing process to create a pre-faded denim jacket indistinguishable from vintage worn-in pieces!

The construction features a combination of single-needle and chain stitching for added durability while the unpolished iron doughnut buttons add to the vintage charm of this garment.

The design has been inspired by classic type 2 jackets worn by cowboys and workmen of the past. SDA have retained the short vertical length and comfortable chest dimensions to make up for a relaxed vintage fit!

If you are looking for a type 2 denim jacket with amazing design and original vintage fabrics, SDA's latest creation could be the perfect one!

The sashiko star shines out for a better future!

This season we would like to introduce you to SDA's special project 'MARU SANKAKU PEKE' a.k.a OAX.

This one takes inspiration from those most beautiful examples of boro repairs on vintage Japanese work coats. The rear side features a skilful example of the vintage repairing process. The 'diamond-like', star-shaped patchwork pattern has been skilfully hand-cut and sewn using Japanese indigo-dyed fabric from vintage sashiko. Each pattern will be slightly different to the next resulting in a unique, one of a kind look.

The collar also features some tastefully applied, vintage fabric accents that add tasteful contrast.

Woven using vintage machines, the indigo chambray fabric is super smooth to the touch and features man shades of indigo thanks to the thread dyed fibres. OAX have also applied a realistic 'USED' process which results in a mottled indigo hue.

Constructed with chain stitched side gussets and classic, rounded symmetrical chest pockets, this is a durable yet tasteful choice for a semi-casual vibe. The polished nut buttons add a vintage charm and will develop more detail as they oxidise.

Enjoy the character and fade with time!
