U.S. NAVY M-43 Denim Shawl Collar Jacket from the 1940s by the U.S. Military, MADE OF "KAIHARA DENIM" WAIPER.inc 【WP1038】 This denim shawl collar jacket is a popular model among vintage enthusiasts. The Navy, compared to the Army, is characterized by its many products using denim, and among them, the particularly popular shawl collar jacket has been faithfully reproduced with carefully selected fabric. The design of the shawl collar, similar to the details of a sailor suit, and the resin change buttons with the NAVY stamp are also precisely reproduced. Based on actual archives, the fabric was jointly developed with the major domestic denim manufacturer "Kaihara." Analyzing and researching the fabric of the time, the 10.75-ounce denim fabric uses two types of uneven yarns for the warp to replicate the vintage color and the finish after fading. For the weft, gray yarn was woven, referencing the jelt denim that was often used for work and military purposes at the time, and finished with a right-hand twill weave. Jelt denim, which originated in the 1920s for workwear, has a lightweight yet durable weave, achieving high durability suitable for work denim. Furthermore, by applying Kaihara's characteristic rope dyeing, we have created original denim fabric that allows you to enjoy the aging of the denim. Also, because it has been pre-shrunk, there is no significant shrinkage due to washing, so you can wear it with confidence. Please fully enjoy the appeal of military denim, which was made possible by the collaboration between WAIPER and Kaihara. Size L Thank you for viewing.
