Our classic Type III jacket made from a super tough 17oz brown cotton duck fabric. With a slightly longer than traditional body and with the addition of side handwarmer pockets, this jacket is the perfect companion for your indigo denim, all year round. $400.
筆者の体形は、身長171cm、体重73kg。全体的に肉付きが良く、スポーツ経験を問われることが多い。 筆者が購入したのは40サイズ。 The author’s build is 171 cm tall and weighs 73 kg; he is generally well-fleshed and his sports experience is often questioned. The author purchased the XL size.
It is 17oz, so it is a heavy weight and thick as a stone. And it is hard. At first, I had a hard time fastening the buttons. I didn’t buy a size that was on the edge, but rather because of its thickness and stiffness. I thought it was only the buttons that were hard, but even the pockets were so hard that I had a hard time putting cigarettes in the pockets at first.
The size is a little big for wearing over a T-shirt, but it is just right when you put on a thick sweater or a parka.
What was quite nice was that although it is denim fabric, the color did not migrate, probably because it is not dyed with indigo. In the past, I have stuck a leather wallet into a new pair of jeans and turned blue. The fabric is quite stiff and rubs against my innerwear, so I was horrified to think that it would have been dyed indigo.
It is good that it does not become too casual because the fabric is stiff and solid, though I say it is a habit of G-jacket.
Only the vest is sold on the Japanese site, and the jacket is sold only on overseas sites (as of 12/12/2023). The author bought this jacket in 2018 at the Inazuma festival in Okayama, Japan. I like it because I like the type of jackets that get better with time, but I don’t recommend it to those who prefer something easy to wear from the beginning.
