The iconic Type II jacket originated during a transitional period when denim jackets evolved from mere workwear to casual wear in the US, marking a masterpiece of the 1950s. Fullcount expertly reproduces this jacket, and their version may even surpass the original introduced by Levi's in 1953. Crafted from the exclusive 13.7oz Japanese selvedge denim, paying homage to vintage denim from the 40s & 50s, this fabric is a year-round masterpiece. Fullcount, a pioneer in using Zimbabwean cotton, ensures comfort and durability with this long-staple cotton, achieving a perfect balance for everyday wear and authentic vintage fades.
This jacket features all the superior-quality Fullcount details, including metal buttons, copper rivets, a custom veg-tanned goatskin leather patch, and 100% cotton thread, ensuring a faithful vintage aesthetic.
Despite being a Japanese jacket, we find the sizing of this Type II to be more Western than Japanese. If you usually wear a size M in American jackets, you'll find a suitable fit with this jacket in size 40 (M). However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit. It is unsanforized but one washed, so there will be no shrinkage.
