A/W 02 Type III Jacket Indigo
Oversized type III jacket in mediumweight cotton selvedge denim. Features a boxy cut with overlong sleeves and classic type III details. Finished with a logo tab at chest and orange contrast stitching throughout.
Yohji denim from this era was of exceptional quality with superb depth of color. Some beautiful fading already in progress with much more depth to be revealed as you wear and wash. The key feature of this piece is its boxier cut - the armholes are generous for a denim jacket, the length is not as cropped, and the sleeves are overlong and cover the hands, which you may cuff if desired. This allows for nice layering underneath without becoming too stuffy or tight as may be the case with a traditional denim jacket, and also works well underneath heavier outerwear and coats as a sturdy medium layer. I think the contrast stitching will look great against the denim as it ages and fades. Red line selvedge at inner facing.
