Orslow 6011 Type 1 40’s 13.5oz Selvedge Denim Pleated Blouse (Denim Used)
In the 1940s, denim jackets were not yet called "jean jackets" and were referred to as "pleated blouses" due to the inclusion of pleats. The design of front pleats reflects a remnant from the 1800s. Fabrics that were not treated with anti-shrinkage processing after weaving would often shrink vertically. During the 1800s, it is said that garments were sewn using the fabric's horizontal direction, allowing the pleats to be undone after washing to widen the garment's width.
Even after transitioning to using fabric in the vertical direction, the design of front pleats has persisted and been inherited as a feature in modern times. Denim from the 1940s tended to have longer vertical variations compared to later denim. This difference in appearance could be attributed to whether the cotton used for the fabric was hand-picked or machine-harvested, but the exact cause is uncertain. Denim from the 1940s and the 1950s exhibit distinct variations in their appearances.
Orslow 6011 utilizes original denim with longer vertical variations compared to other materials. The back design features a T-back style for size 3 and above. This design appears to have been conceived during a time when resources were precious and efficiently utilizing larger fabric sizes was essential.

-Knife pleats
-Branded Iron buttons
-Deerskin leather patch
-Side tab adjusters
-Double weave fabric - denim outer, cotton blend inner.
-Border pattern interior fabric

Pure Blue Japan did it again with a "double weaving" technique to create a Type II with double the fabric character. The process involves weaving two layers of fabric together on specially-designed looms. So what looks like a lined jacket is actually a jacket made from a single, cohesive piece of woven cloth.
The outer face is a double indigo denim with a pronounced vertical slub. It will fade with wear as the indigo dyes part ways with denim. The inner face is a cotton blend, border patterned fabric with flecks of nep throughout. This inner fabric provides the same visual flare as a blanket lining without the bulk.

A 1953 model during the transition period when denim jackets changed from work wear to casual wear. Commonly known as 2nd. The masterpiece representing the 1950s is tailored with brown duck fabric.
Cotton brown duck has been used for work wear since 1850, and has been used for work wear for a long time, rather than denim. It is a thick plain weave fabric and has a wide range of uses, including sails for ships, bags and tents. Like vintage-based denim, it is woven with a narrow power loom (shuttle loom), so it has selvedge. In addition, the brown dyeing is done with sulfur dyes instead of the currently mainstream reactive dyes. Therefore, you can enjoy aging like denim.

Tailor Toyo Lot. TT15520 / 1950s Souvenir Jacket “KOSHO & CO.” Special Edition “DRAGON & LANDSCAPE” × “DRAGON”
In honor of the zodiac sign of 2024, the dragon, the Year of the Dragon collection is a reproduction of a dragon pattern selected from a large number of vintage skajans. This time, as a special edition, Tailor Toyo reprint the "Printed Sukajan", which was only made for a short period of time from the late 1940's to the early 1950's.
The surface is embroidered with two dragons glaring at each other with Mt. Fuji in between. The design is not filled with embroidery, but the black acetate fabric used as the base is used effectively to make the dragon drawn with delicately colored threads stand out. When we look into the materials from the time, we find that it was created by a skilled Japanese embroidery craftsman, and it has a dignified finish that makes it look like a Japanese painting. The original vintage specifications have been reproduced, including the dragon embroidery on the chest, which is larger than usual, and the three lines on the sleeves.
The reversible side has a printed Japan map pattern. Instead of printing using modern machines, printing is done by hand, in which a plate is created one color at a time, and then the plates are printed over and over again by hand.This method requires time, effort, and advanced technology, so it was not possible to print at the time. Very few. Moreover, this design, which features a map of Japan along with castles and landscapes, is especially rare among printed Skajan jackets, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is impossible to obtain on the vintage market. The dragon on the chest is drawn in a size that would be impossible to find on an embroidered Sukajan jacket, and due to its powerful design and vintage rarity, it has been reprinted as a special edition for the Year of the Dragon.
“KOSHO & CO.” SPECIAL EDITION
This special edition is a reproduction of carefully selected masterpieces from Taylor Toyo's collection with great attention to detail. In addition to the detailed designs drawn with horizontal embroidery, the acetate fabric is adjusted to create a vintage-like finish, and the wool ribs are knitted one by one using an old-fashioned flat knitting machine. For the reversible zippers, we restarted the fastening machines that were used more than 50 years ago and recreated the same hand-bending ones that were used back then. Using the label of Kosho Shokai, the predecessor of Taylor Toyo, the finish is reminiscent of the heyday of vintage skajans.

Buzz Rickson’s Lot. BR11703 / US NAVY Denim Gas Protective Parka
In the early 1940s, the U.S. Navy adopted parkas made of denim material as a gas protection measure. The overall silhouette is loose as it can be put on and taken off as a pullover. The left and right straps around the hooded neck secure the gas mask hose. The placket has a complex three-layered structure to prevent gas from entering, and the hood also has a cord running through it to seal it after the gas mask is attached. This hoodie was worn with overall trousers, rubber gloves, and rubber overshoes.
