This jacket is crafted from Tanuki’s signature Indigo x Indigo fabric, a 15oz denim with both warp and weft dyed in deep indigo shades. Woven using a low-tension technique, it is lighter and more breathable than standard 15oz denim, while still maintaining a beautiful slubby texture and a comfortable hand feel. Despite its irregular appearance, the fabric offers surprisingly smooth comfort for the wearer.

The unique slub and nep of this fabric create high-contrast fades and snowy highlights that gradually emerge with wear, resulting in fast and distinctive fading. Made from 100% Texas cotton with a medium staple fiber length, this jacket aims to recreate a vintage hand feel. The durable yet comfortable Texas cotton, along with the slubby yarn, adds to the fabric's character and irregularities.

Tanuki’s double indigo fabric is known for its unparalleled depth of indigo, particularly on its uneven, low-tension surface. The slubby knots on the fabric's surface, which reveal their white core with wear, contribute to its unique texture and excellent fading potential. This fabric has been praised as one of the fastest fading fabrics available, making it a favorite among denim enthusiasts.

This exclusive piece is a modified Type II jacket, offering extra length to accommodate convenient hand warmer pockets, providing both style and practicality. Additionally, it features interior pockets for added functionality, allowing you to carry your essentials with ease.

Despite being a Japanese jacket, like most Tanuki garments, we find the sizing of this Type II to be more Western than Japanese. If you usually wear a size M in American jackets, you'll find a suitable fit with this jacket in size 40 (M). However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit. It is unsanforized but once washed, so there will be no shrinkage.

The Tanuki brand was established in 2016 in Okayama Prefecture. It comprises a small group of great artisans who are passionate about denim and boast more than 30 years’ experience in other brands in the industry. If there is something that characterizes Tanuki garments in addition to its modern cuts, it is the quality and variety of its fabrics, with prime importance given to the best cottons, natural indigo and the application of different types of tension on the shuttle looms when producing the fabrics.
