Description

The Lot. 701 Raw Indigo Denim Jacket from Taiga Takahashi T.T is inspired by archived workwear jackets from the 1940s, with signature details evolved into a statement luxury piece. This Jacket is crafted from a sanforized, raw 11 oz. Original T.T Selvedge Denim, vintage shuttle-loomed in Okayama, as a custom 3 x 1 Left Hand Twill with a consistent moderate tension that yields a luxurious, structured drape. This signature denim features 100% US-grown Organic Cotton for exclusive yarns that are slightly slubbed and tinted to achieve subtle, period-correct fades. The sulfur and indigo rope-dyed warp is woven with a grey-green tinted weft, featuring a natural core, replicating the industrial-era grey-blue selvedge denims of yesteryear. Reimagined and refined, this jacket is unlined, featuring a point collar, a double-pleated and tacked bodice, a full-pleated back with a cinched buckle, and snapped cuffs. Guided by the Applied Archaeology ethos and the Taiga Takahashi archives, this piece resurrects a relic of the past to serve as an artifact of the future, blending aesthetic principles rooted in Japanese concepts of craftsmanship and beauty. Paying homage to the antique original, the Denim Jacket has a vintage-inspired, tailored, directional fit with set-in sleeves, an uncoated copper snap front closure, uncoated copper riveted patch lower patch pockets, and interior selvedge line reveals on the waist, placket, and cuffs. Innovating designs from the past using old-world techniques with exquisite precision, the Lot. 701 Jacket is made with felled seams, chainstitched construction, and bartack reinforcements. Step into the future with a timeless vision of the past with Taiga Takahashi.
