Freewheelers bring back a rare classic from the vintage denim archives!
This season Freewheelers have brought us a rare Type 1 jacket style, based on a model originally produced by Levi's in the first half of 1942. Compared with the vintage model, this jacket features an increased weight and stronger vertical texture!
This 14oz pink selvedge I.D denim is specially developed for this 1942 series denim. It has been slowly woven with vintage denim machines, resulting in a tasteful fabric that strikes the perfect balance of slubbiness with a subtly irregular texture. The denim has been yarn-dyed with grand indigo. With wear and wash, you can expect to see some strong vertical aging with some beautiful high-contrast indigo hues coming through!
This model features the classic Type 1 details with a single chest pocket with hidden rivets, 'V. West' red tab and an adjustable cinch back to ensure you can get the perfect fit! Freewheelers' custom engraved copper rivets and iron buttons provide extra durability for long-term wear!
If you are looking for a rare 1942-style Type 1 denim jacket, made to the highest standards of Japanese denim construction, you won't want to miss out on Freewheelers!
