1920's denim jacket, an iconic item of Taiga Takahashi.

Taiga Takahashi liked denim brands called "store" more than Levi's. Especially J.C. Penny, which had a brand called Foremost. In particular, J.C. Penny, which had a brand called Foremost, started making denim that imitated Levi's in the 1920s, and gradually developed designs with originality. After collecting these denim items, we felt their will to differentiate themselves from Levi's through trial and error in every detail, and Taiga Takahashi's original denim was born. 

This 3/1 left twill, light-ounce denim is made from U.S.-grown organic cotton and woven on an old-style power loom in Okayama. The denim fabric is slowly woven on an old-type power loom, also known as a shuttle loom, which can weave at only 1/10 to 1/20 the speed of modern looms, leaving the original unevenness of the cotton yarns and making the fabric uneven in a good sense. The warp yarn is indigo mixed with sulfide dye, which gives it a weathered green cast color. The core is dyed white by rope-dyeing. The weft yarn is a custom-made nep yarn dyed to a yellowish, yellowish color that evokes the passage of time. By using these two types of yarns, we arrived at Taiga Takahashi's original dark and deep indigo blue. The finishing touch is a shrink-proofing process called "Sanforized.

The fabric is a "white ear" selvedge denim fabric, and the white ear is used on the front flap, the back of the cuffs, and in various other areas. The jacket has a patch pocket on one side, and is simply constructed with only one stitch each to fasten the pleats on the front. The silhouette is flat, with straight sleeves and no sloping shoulder line. All the details are constructed in exactly the same way as in the 1920s. Signature leather patches are made from mud-dyed leather patches from Amami-Oshima.
