The 6221-IV from Pure Blue Japan takes its cues from the ’60s-era Levi’s Type III Trucker Jacket but incorporates a slightly longer body. This creates a flattering, contemporary fit that also accommodates handwarmer pockets.
Always a brand to flex its fabric mastery, Pure Blue Japan has crafted this Type III Trucker style in a custom-woven, jacquard sashiko stitch fabric. Sashiko is a traditional Japanese form of decorative reinforcement stitching. The term translates literally to “little stabs,” hinting at the intricate detail achieved here. The sashiko stitch fabric reveals a world of texture that will only become more pronounced and impressive as it breaks in.
Constructed using traditional chain stitching and finished with custom metal hardware, these Type III jackets come one-washed to eliminate shrinkage and enhance the fabric’s natural softness.
