It’s all in the name. So let’s unpack what this matching jacket and pant set from Our Legacy means. Pink cast refers to how the garments are dyed. The product description uses the term “piece dyed” but you’re probably more familiar with “garment dyed,” which means the exact same thing. Rather than weaving dyed yarns into a fabric and then making clothing out of that fabric, the peice dying process makes the garment out of unded fabric and then adds the color to the completed piece. The benefits to this process include a richer texture, like added depth on seams and different hues across different layers of the weave.
Our Legacy designed these renditions of their Rebirth Jacket and Third Cut jeans to fade easier than standard dyes or indigo denim. To enhance the process off the shelf, both pieces even underwent an aging wash. The ultimate effect is a vintage look that feels like something you would pick off the rack at your local thrift shop — if you were insanely lucky to find something as well-made and well-fitting as these pieces.
The other operative phrase in the title is “chain twill,” which is a little misleading. Essentially, both the jacket and jeans are constructed from unconventionally woven twill. Upon close inspection, visible in the zoomed-in photo here, you can see a diagonal, almost zig-zagging weft rather than the horizontal patterns found in most denim. It’s like broken twill but even weirder. Functionally, the fabric looks to the naked eye and feels to the touch like a mid-weight denim.
As for the pink part, it is super faded. So whether you buy either piece individually or make a workwear suit out of it, you’ll find it much easier to style than say a salmon, or neon pink.
