Samurai Jeans S556VX "Zero +" Type I Jacket

Fit Notes: As all Samurai denim jackets, it runs slightly smaller in size compared to your regular American size. Typically, if you wear a size M in American jackets, you will need to select a size 42 (L) in this. However, individual body types can vary, so, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit. It is unsanforized but one-washed, so there will be no further shrinkage.

This faithful Japanese reproduction of a Type I denim jacket showcases Samurai's renowned Zero+ denim, perfectly capturing the iconic 1930s silhouette. Staying true to tradition, it includes the classic cinch back while incorporating modern adjustments for improved comfort: wider armholes, slightly enlarged shoulders, and a more accommodating body width. Samurai also refined the yoke and pocket positions for a better fit. Unlike vintage Type I jackets, where the "T-back" design was limited to larger sizes, Samurai introduces this authentic detail across all sizes, featuring a two-piece fabric construction joined at the center.

Crafted from Samurai's signature 17oz "Zero" unsanforized selvedge denim—renowned for its slubby, neppy texture—this fabric, first developed in 2004, uses uneven No. 5 yarn for both warp and weft, delivering an unparalleled tactile experience.

The jacket's craftsmanship shines in every detail: branded metal buttons, an exclusive cowhide leather patch, rugged extra-heavy stitching, and unique silver lamé selvedge, making it a standout piece of both history and modern innovation.
