Never ones to pass on an opportunity to flex their fabric mastery, Pure Blue Japan have crafted these Type III jackets from a custom-woven jacquard sashiko stitch fabric—a beautiful 12oz grey cloth with black sashiko detailing throughout.
Sashiko is a traditional form of decorative reinforcement stitching. The term translates literally to “little stabs,” which gives some sense of the intricacy achieved on these jackets.
The fabric reveals a world of texture that will only grow more impressive as it breaks in. Finished with chainstitch construction and custom metal hardware. One-washed to eliminate shrinkage and unlock the fabric’s natural softness.
The 6221 from Pure Blue Japan takes its cues from the ’60s-era Levi’s Type III Trucker jacket but features a slightly longer body for a more contemporary fit—and to accommodate a set of handwarmer pockets.
