WAREHOUSE 14OZ 2001XX TYPE 1 DENIM JACKET
"King Of Vintage", we should crown Warehouse with this title as their fans do!
This denim jacket is inspired by some vintage Levi's type 1 denim jackets from WWII (the late '40s till early 50s), during that time, due to the shortage of materials, especially copper. Levi's decided to use iron buttons instead, to avoid the rust, Levi's used the Copper-Plating Technique to finish their buttons that we rarely see nowadays.
This 7.5 x 7.5 14oz pink selvage ID WWII style denim is newly developed by Warehouse for this type 1 denim jacket. It has some very rough touches but a smooth look. The cotton thread is pure indigo yarn-dyed, with wear and wash, you will expect some very bright indigo hues coming up with some deadstock vintage late '40s denim.
Construction-wise, we believe this is a top 3 type 1 denim jacket we have come across. We love the single cotton thread run-off in the collar & also chain-stitching run-offs in the hem. It is part of the design to represent 'Rush WWII Time'! The extra thick deerskin leather patch comes with veins that look TOUGH as the soldiers!
If you are looking for some most SOULFUL type 1 denim jacket designs, this is a surprise!

The Flat Head "Skull & Snake" Reversible Sukajan Jacket
When talking about the most iconic Japanese designs, it's impossible to ignore the Souvenir aka Sukajan jacket. To be frank, no brand can do it as The Flat Head does!
Inspired by traditional Japanese folklore symbolism, the skilful embroidery represents the 'Wabi-Sabi' mindset. All things will fade to dust in time, but in the process, the true beauty of things is revealed. The crackled skulls and bones depict this logic but in stark contrast, the snake motif is applied to communicate that with the death of some things, life persists in another way.
The most crucial part is of course the outer shell! TFH has specially developed their bamboo rayon over the last decade. It has a beautiful sheen like silk but is much more durable and resilient to scuffing. In the light, this one dances like diamonds!
The ribbed cuffs have been specially created using knitting machines to result in the perfect fit. This jacket also has a 'B' side, the construction is incredibly well concealed in the fact each side does not look compromised and is super accurate.
The embroidery is a whole different art altogether. The craftsmen at TFH use tattoo-like, handheld vintage embroidery machines and 'paint' each jacket. The benefit of this is a more raised texture and intricate design making up for a three-dimensional look. With a smooth feeling, custom TFH zip and double-sided design... this is the real Sukajan!
If you've been wanting to try one of the most iconic designs that have risen from Japan, this is it. This is the highest level of Sukajan we've seen so far, no doubt!

For added durability, the entire shirt has been skillfully sewn with vintage machines using extra heavy threads.
With ongoing use, this one will age up to a vintage soulful look. Thanks to the thread dyed colourway, you'll see more shades of colour with wear.
