LOT.708 DENIM COVERALL JACKET C.1940'S

Based on a coverall jacket from the 1940s, discovered in the archives of Taiga Takahashi.

Coveralls were designed for blue-collar workers and had many complicated details, such as inside pockets and a pen slot in the breast pocket. The coverall jacket of the 1940s reconstructed this time has a very simplified design, which suggests that it was made around the time of World War II, when supplies were scarce.

The straight silhouette of the jacket is used as it is, and the use of light gray and navy colored stitches is faithfully reproduced.

This 3/1 left twill, light-ounce denim is made of organic cotton from the U.S. and woven on an old-style power loom in Okayama, Japan. The denim fabric is slowly woven on an old-type power loom, also known as a shuttle loom, which can weave at only 1/10 to 1/20 the speed of modern looms, leaving the original unevenness of the cotton yarns and making it uneven in a good sense. The warp yarn is indigo mixed with sulfide dye, which gives it a weathered green cast color. The core is dyed white by rope-dyeing. The weft yarn is a custom-made nep yarn dyed to a yellowish, yellowish color that evokes the passage of time. By using these two types of yarns, we arrived at Taiga Takahashi's original dark and deep indigo blue. The finishing touch is a shrink-proofing process called "Sanforized.
The fabric is a "white ear" selvedge denim fabric, and the white ear is used on the front flap, the back of the cuffs, and in various other areas. The jacket has a patch pocket on one side, and is simply constructed with only one stitch each to fasten the pleats on the front. The silhouette is flat, with straight sleeves and no sloping shoulder line. All the details are constructed in exactly the same way as in the 1920s. Signature leather patches are made of mud-dyed leather patches from Amami-Oshima.
