Benzak BDJ-05 Trucker Jacket Forties Era Selvedge Indigo 14oz
BDJ-05 TRUCKER JACKET has a slim cut, paying homage to vintage trucker style denim jackets. The fit features a slight tilt with a longer front and shorter back, enhancing the slim silhouette. Besides the two prominent chest pockets, the BDJ-05 features two hidden hand warmer pockets. The pocket bags function as two extra inside pockets too, providing enough space to store your valuables securely.
14 oz. forties era selvedge is a type of denim with a lot of character and interesting detailing. It has been replicated from vintage denim from 1940s, both in terms of indigo shade and construction. Denim from that period was mostly unsanforized -- and so is Benzak´s version. The tricky part of unsanforized denim is that it may shrink up to 10% after the first wash. Therefore, Benzak has already pre-washed the garments in the factory and adjusted the pattern to end up with the correct measurements after this first wash. This means that you can buy your own size and don’t have to worry about the shrinkage. In its unwashed state, the fabric weighs approximately 12 oz. per square yard. However, after washing, the shrinkage causes the weight to increase to 14 oz. per square yard as the fibers contract and draw closer together. This results in more yarn being packed into the same square yard, giving the fabric a stiff feel, despite it being already washed.
Benzak´s 14 oz. forties era selvedge has been woven by Collect Mills in Japan.
