End-tier denim is expensive, but when you break down to amount of wear and satisfaction you’ll get out of a piece like this Dawson Denim Type II Denim Jacket, it’s worth it.
Made in England, Dawson’s latest Type II is made from a super dark indigo 16 oz. Japanese selvedge denim that will develop high contrast fades with wear. And that’s great, because a denim blouson is just about the most wearable garment ever. Under a big coat in the colder months? Yep. Over a white tee and shorts in the summertime? Hell yes. With pretty much any style of pant in the world? Most def. The denim jacket can do it all.
Dawson designed their signature Type II by combining elements of classic vintage denim jackets to create a silhouette with pockets and pleats of a Type II but with a fit more akin to that of a Type III. The result is a modern denim jacket with time-honored hallmarks and top class construction. Each jacket is made in Brighton, England, and features fully fell internal seams, custom hardware, ornate cuff stitching, Reese 101 buttonholes, and an internal pocket big enough to fit smartphones an tablets.
Available for $405 from Dawson Denim.
