This Freewheelers Duck Canvas Garage Worker Jacket (Rude Black) was worn by our Melbourne Staff -- Vito, as he shares:
" No doubt, Freewheelers has always been my favourite brand. I already own several pieces in their Rude Black colourway, including a leather jacket and a pair of jeans. So when I first saw this Duck Canvas Garage Worker Jacket in Rude Black, I knew I had to have it. After wearing it continuously for over a year, I've come to realise that I love this jacket even more than I ever expected."
" I've been wearing this jacket to work at CORLECTION for the past year, five days a week, and washing it once a month. During the first three months, the duck canvas didn't develop much contrast in its fading. However, I noticed that the brass zips began to develop a natural patina with some surface rust. In my opinion, this perfectly complements the rugged character of a mechanic's work jacket, making it look even more authentic."
" After the first six months of regular wear and washing, the Rude Black duck canvas began to develop a striking black-and-white contrast. It reminded me of the worn jackets you would see on the characters in classic 1970s biker movies. Yeah... sometimes this jacket makes me feel like I'm one of those characters. Lol~"
"After 12 months of wear (five days a week) and 12 washes, the jacket has lost around 20–30% of its original weight as the duck canvas softened and broke in. It has become my favourite all-season jacket. Nowadays, I mostly wear it on weekends, and I've even given it a nickname—"Old Fella."
