jacket Vita
A work jacket for the garden was the inspiration for the Vita jacket. Two large bellows pockets, a spacious inside pocket and a small breast pocket can hold a lot of things that you carry around with you (scissors, notebook, string, apple...)
Vita is the perfect mix of robust and elegant: Made from 10.4 oz Japanese raw denim, it can take a lot and only gets better with time. At the same time, it has a sophisticated cut: a round shoulder yoke, raglan sleeves and a slight waistline. When worn open, the collar looks like a lapel. You can adjust the width using the tabs at the bottom of the sleeve.
Vita is produced with great care in small editions in a sewing factory in Bavaria.
Outer material: Japanese selvedge raw denim from Kuroki. The material is woven on old looms in a width of 80 cm and is given the typically sought-after "selvedge", the closed selvedge. Over time and through wear, the material develops a great, individual patina.
Since experience has shown that lining is the first to break, I have largely avoided using it. The jacket is designed in such a way that the open finish also looks good on the inside. This requires a high degree of precision in production.
Only for the yoke, the inside pocket and as a contrasting colour on the sleeve tabs is an unbleached cotton twill used, IVN Best certified by the weaving mill Elmer and Zweifel.
The buttons are made from the natural material corozo and are uncolored. This means that the color varies slightly. They are characterized by their fine grain.
The fruit of the corozo palm is also known as vegetable ivory. The corozo comes from South America and grows on the corozo palm in the low-lying rainforests of Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Panama.
Raw denim gets the most beautiful patina when it is washed as little as possible. If you do have to wash it, it is best to wash it inside out by hand with cold water and a gentle detergent. The washing machine can cause creases.
At temperatures above 30 degrees, the material may shrink by up to 3%. If you are using the jacket as a work jacket and want to wash it more often, order a size larger.
