INTERIM VINTAGE NATURAL INDIGO SHUTTLE DENIM SINGLE NEEDLE 213 No.2 DENIM JACKET

INTERIM VINTAGE NATURAL INDIGO SHUTTLE DENIM SINGLE NEEDLE 213 No.2 DENIM JACKET (IT26A047) MADE IN JAPAN.

The No.2 series was produced from 1890 to the early 1940s. Originally positioned as a budget-friendly line, it is now considered a rare treasure due to its limited circulation. This piece is based on the 213, a signature model of the series, featuring specifications from its earliest years. It is constructed primarily with single-needle stitching, a method that is extremely inefficient for modern mass production. This special denim jacket incorporates iconic details such as the signature down pockets, a linen patch that distorts with washing, rare white-selvedge natural indigo denim, and an iron needle-buckle cinch.

The fabric is a white-selvedge denim dyed with natural indigo by a long-established Japanese mill. By dyeing the fabric 10 times using only natural indigo, it achieves a deep, dark color that rivals chemical dyes, challenging the common perception that natural indigo is always light in color.

The vintage finish is a special specification that involves multiple, intensive processing steps, even more rigorous than standard INTERIM processed denim. It was crafted to maximize the beautiful gradation unique to natural indigo.
