Modern JKT Type 2nd: Japanese Selvedge Denim Jacket
A made-in-Japan selvedge denim jacket in the vintage 2nd type silhouette, cut from 12.5oz American cotton selvedge denim woven on old shuttle looms and finished with the original re.birth wash.
Design and Fit
A denim jacket designed to be worn as a set-up with the Modern Classic jeans. Based on the vintage jacket known as the 2nd type, the pocket placement is set slightly lower, and large pleats on the back create a rounded silhouette. Available in two sizes: a tight size 1 and a loose size 3.
12.5oz Selvedge Denim Fabric
The material is 12.5oz selvedge (red line) denim made from American cotton and woven on old-fashioned shuttle looms - a globally recognized premium material. It is slightly lighter in weight with a hint of stretch, so it combines a heavy vintage look with lightness and comfort.
The re.birth Wash
Rigid denim is attractive for its beautiful clean face, but it shrinks significantly in home washing and bleeds colour so strongly that your hands turn blue from the indigo dye. The re.birth wash rinses the denim once, then starches it again with a non-water-soluble starch to restore the unprocessed, rigid look. This lets you choose your true size from the start, reduces colour transfer, minimizes fuzzing after washing, and keeps the rigid face far longer.
Details and Craftsmanship
The jacket is packed with meticulous details, including pure silver-plated buttons and punched copper rivets. Modern JKT type 2nd is not just a replica; it is a jacket where the character of good old vintage and the latest technology coexist.
Made in Japan
The fabric is woven in Hiroshima Prefecture, while sewing and washing are carried out in Miyagi Prefecture. Japanese jeans made in Okayama are world-famous, but the first jeans sewn in Japan are said to have been made by Watanabe Sewing in Gunma Prefecture. Watanabe Sewing relocated to Miyagi Prefecture in the 1970s and the factory still operates there today. Though not widely known, Miyagi has the second-largest number of jeans factories in Japan after Okayama.
