Modified Type III jacket, made from 21oz "Superblack Fades To Grey" (SBG) selvedge denim. Heavyweight, yet soft and breathable, this variation of the signature denim is woven using a blend of sulphur and reactive dyed yarns. As the fabric ages, the sulphur dyed warp will slowly fade to grey, while the reactive dyed weft will retain its jet black tone, resulting in the high contrast fade characteristics that SBG denim is renowned for.
Please note that this jacket runs smaller and shorter than our other modified Type III jackets. Make sure to check the size chart carefully.
The fit is somewhere between our traditional and modified trucker jacket. This means the body length is similar to our traditional IHJ-526J, with a slightly fuller fit in the body and arms. The cut won't suit all body types, but is for those who prefer the boxy vintage aesthetic and fit of early Levi's Type III or Lee Storm Rider jackets. So if you prefer a more modern, slim fit and slightly longer denim jacket, this may not be the jacket for you.
