Boncoura Type III Jacket - 15oz Indigo Denim
$645.00
A reinterpretation of the iconic 1960s type III American denim jacket by Boncoura. Originally created as workwear, denim jackets eventually found their way into everyday dress. As that transition unfolded, what began as structural functionality gradually evolved into aesthetic form. The Type III jacket stands as a symbol of that shift—from utility to expression.
In developing this piece, BONCOURA drew strong inspiration from the rare and beautifully balanced silhouette of the 558 model. While respecting the proportions of the time, every measurement and line was carefully reexamined to pursue a silhouette that carries both ruggedness and natural refinement.
Orange thread—typical of the era—is used throughout the stitching, with subtle variations introduced by incorporating yellow thread in select areas. Even among threads of the same color family, different thicknesses are used depending on placement, adding depth and dimension to the finished garment.
The inside of the front placket features selvedge detailing, using the raw edge of the fabric as-is. Though not visible from the outside, attention to such hidden elements contributes to the overall integrity of the jacket.
The fabric is made from Boncoura's proprietary "Ikemen" denim, the same as used in the 66 and XX jean models. The underside of the pocket flaps are lined with their chambray fabric, allowing for a beautifully aged patina over time.
All components, including BONCOURA’s original hardware, have been carefully crafted to ensure long-lasting wear. Like the denim itself, these metal parts will develop a unique patina with use. Stitching is done with cotton thread, following traditional construction methods. The thread thickness varies from gauge 8 to 30, drawing inspiration from period-authentic stitch-work.
