The Jacket originates from an unbranded American coverall from the 1910 discovered in a coal mine. T.T's coverall jacket is a fruit of our fascination for a vintage jacket added to Takahashi's collection after over a century. 1920s was the time when mass production and consumption began in the US. In the wave of massive transformation in industries triggered by the American capitalism, manufacturing departed from the tradition of craftsmanship characterized by meticulous attention to each work and shifted to a system enabling mass production requiring no skills. Workwear worn by laborers, the supporter of economy at the bottom of the hierarchy, are eloquent witnesses of the era. All design elements, from simplified linear sewing and flat patterns to resilient fabric and practical pocket shapes, are specifically purposed for durability. What we call"design" today is virtually nonexistent. This jacket, in particular, is more like a tool than a garment. While inheriting the original specifications, we took the fabric texture into account and reconstructed it with added shoulder slopes to improve the underarm fit. The fabric is our original twisting-mottled whipcord, resulting from our study of vintage swatches from the 1940s. The reverse side is lightly brushed."Whipcord" came from the thick and prominent twill pattern, looking like a horsewhip.
