Wythe Faded Navy Japanese Cotton Herringbone Barn Jacket

There's a certain satisfaction in a piece that feels like it's already lived a life. This barn jacket captures that feeling from the first wear. Rooted in vintage workwear and refined through fabric and construction, it's a jacket with real character.

The foundation is the cloth. A Japanese reproduction of vintage US military herringbone twill, it carries the depth and authenticity that only comes from true heritage fabric. The yarns are sulphur dyed, then the garment is washed down to achieve that perfectly faded navy tone. The result feels broken in from the start, with natural variation and texture that will continue to evolve over time.

Construction is where it really stands apart. Triple needle stitching along the side seams and centre back delivers durability that speaks to traditional workwear. Chainstitch construction adds another layer of strength. Custom Wythe snaps and shanks bring a distinctive, considered finish, and the green bartacks at the pockets are a subtle signature, reinforcing the level of care put into every element.

Cut to layer comfortably. Works effortlessly over knits, shirts, or tees. Substantial without feeling heavy, an ideal transitional piece across seasons.
