HIROSHI KATOThe Blade - Gil 11.5oz Air Selvedge

The fades replicate a jacket that was heavily worn for years and rarely washed. This would give the fades a higher contrast between the darker indigo and the faded areas of high surface contact. 4-Way Stretch Selvedge Air was born from the love of old vintage denim and the need for comfort. This denim has the look and feel of a 15oz denim, but is a very comfortable 11.5oz. Instead of using the usual 3 X 1 weave of standard denim, we implemented a 5 x 1 weave. This creates a denim that is lighter but with the same durability. The low-tension yarns and loose weave contribute to the thicker look of the denim while maintaining its light feel. The overall result is a vintage textured denim that looks heavyweight but feels light as air. Our timeless American denim jacket, inspired by the original Type 1 trucker jean jacket. We've streamlined the design by eliminating back pleats and the cinch back for a sleeker, modern feel. We included a pen slot in the front pocket for easy access (perfect for your shades). Hand warmer pockets have also been added, an essential for any denim jacket. Your ride or die outerwear for late nights in the city, cruising down the highway, or even just adding a little attitude to your daily commute. - 98% Cotton / 2% polyurethane Fit & Size Model is 6'1" and wearing size M.
