Jelado Jacket<406XX 55 Denim Jacket

Forming part of Jelado’s ‘Basic Collection’, the 406XX is sewn up using the brand’s much loved ‘Last Resort’ denim.

Heavily focused on denim from a bygone era and the ‘Golden Age’, Jelado have painstakingly recreated a perfect homage to a vintage Levi’s Type II jacket of the 1940s & ’50s. In order to re-create the fabric Jelado have dissected original 501XX deadstock denim with a focus on cotton used, thread thickness, fibre length and weight. 

The results are really quite something and the 406XX is a perfect reproduction of the original from the 1950s. From deconstructing a deadstock jacket, Jelado has been able to successfully produce a new version with the same thread thickness as seen on original denim with traditional manufacturing methods used. 

The leather patch is made from horsehide and features Jelado’s 55 Denim branding stamped on, giving a vintage appearance. The jacket is cut short, as the originals would have been, to meet the high rise of their 301XX Jeans, with pleated front, five button closure, two chest pockets and button side adjusters. 

Pair with the Age of Longing’ 301 XX Denim Jeans for the matching set.
