Railcar Fine Goods was founded by Steven Dang, a man who knows a thing or two about workwear, having himself spent 13 years pulling shifts on the LA Metro. So it’s no surprise that Railcar’s Type 2 jacket, rendered in a 14 oz. brown wax canvas, is a piece of modern workwear brilliance.
Based on the iconic Type 2 denim jacket, Railcar’s version switches up the usual formula with double-tacked hand pockets for convenience and deep inside pockets for storage, adding a bit of modern practicality to this blouson. They’ve subbed the usual denim fabric for a dry wax canvas, which is tough as nails, drizzle-resistant, and ready to harvest patina with its slightly mottled appearance.
As you can tell, an insane attention to detail on these things is a given. This is because each jacket is handmade to order by Dang and his team at Railcar’s El Monte HQ, which features a cutting room, two-storey factory, screen printing shop, a shipping and receiving room, and public retail space. This is Made in USA greatness with little outsourcing, style, and substance to boot.
Available from Railcar Fine Goods for $425.
