For its latest Greenebaum collection, Warehouse & Co. draws inspiration from some of the earliest denim garments of the late 19th century. In 1873, Levi's revolutionised workwear by patenting the use of metal rivets to improve garment durability. Just a year later, the Greenebaum Brothers secured a patent for reinforcing their garments with leather instead. Reviving this long-forgotten construction method, Warehouse & Co. has faithfully recreated these remarkable early designs for modern enthusiasts. This striking jacket takes its inspiration from an original Greenebaum blouse of the 1880s, brought back to life with Warehouse's renowned attention to historical detail.
This jacket is constructed with 100% cotton, 11oz white selvage ID selvage denim specially developed by Warehouse for their Greenebaum collection. Slowly woven on vintage machines, this denim has a neppy surface with a subtly irregular texture. The yarns have been grand indigo thread-dyed, similar to classic USN denim, and will age to a high-contrasted look with long-term wear and washing!
Design-wise, this jacket features a single-needle construction that faithfully captures the character of authentic vintage workwear. The central waist pockets and sleeve openings are reinforced with natural vegetable-tanned cowhide leather, which will gradually develop a rich mahogany-brown patina over years of wear. The custom-developed black enamel-coated metal buttons, created exclusively for the Greenebaum collection, will also age beautifully, revealing an even more vintage appearance with time. Completing the design is a classic cinch-back, allowing you to fine-tune the fit while staying true to its late-19th-century heritage.
