Inspired by the classic Levi's design from 1953, our take on the “Type II" jacket is cut slightly longer in the body, with a less boxy silhouette than the original. Where this jacket differs from previous Iron Heart Type II models is in the denim — a 14oz non-selvedge weave blended from cotton and linen. The addition of linen creates a more breathable, pliable fabric with greater stretch than our other heavyweight denim. The linen — blended into the weft yarns — also adds an irregular, neppy texture, as the fibres protrude through the face. Combined with features such as traditional knife pleats and a buckled rear cinch, this characterful fabric provides vintage vibes that more than match that of the iconic Type II cut.
