Type 3 Jacket - Shadow Selvedge 14.5 oz

Story:

I've always been a fan of the Trucker Jacket. The paragon of denim jackets during my youth, as I got older I was always on the search for the perfect example of the Type III (names as the third style of denim jacket Levi's designed). The 3Sixteen Type 3 denim jacket pays homage to the classic Type III design with a few notable differences. It begins with proprietary 14.5oz 120x shadow (indigo warp/black weft) selvedge denim that will fade with high contrast. The body has been slightly lengthened and hand pockets were added that are lined with a Japanese fine wale black corduroy. Absent from the jacket are the standard Type III back seams and waist cinches; 3Sixteen opted to give the back of the jacket a cleaner design by replacing the original yoke with their trademark crossed back.

• 14.5oz indigo warp/black weft shadow raw selvedge denim woven in Okayama, Japan

Fabric:

14.5 ounce indigo warp/black weft raw selvedge denim woven in Okayama, Japan

Sizing:

Runs small and designed to fit trim. I'm between sizes (a 42 chest) and bumped up to an XL. Though I could bump up to 2X if I were layering flannels under.
