The “Western Pioneer” from Japan’s Double Helix is a horsehide homage to the Levi’s Trucker styles of the early ‘80s. This beautiful leather jacket harks back to a watershed moment for the Type III style - one that ushered in the addition of handwarmer pockets. All other era-accurate details are here, from the metal hardware to the iconic V stitching that runs from pocket to hem. Delicately curved, acorn-style pocket flaps add a little Double Helix flourish to the mix, as does a satin-soft 100% cupro lining.
At 0.8mm thick, the hide is soft and supple right from the start, boasting a subtle lustre and a textured nap. While it requires minimal break-in, it remains exceptionally durable and hardwearing, making it as practical as it is timeless.
