IHJ-143-IND - 12oz Kersey Work Jacket - Indigo/Black

IHJ-143-IND - 12oz Kersey Work Jacket - Indigo/Black

Inspired by the classic mechanic jackets of the 1950s and ‘60s, our vintage-style work jacket blends American and European tailoring techniques to create a retro aesthetic with a contemporary, fitted silhouette. Stylish yet functional, features include a 14 wale corduroy collar and cuff linings, a YKK zippered placket, button fastening cinches and action pleated sleeves for enhanced manoeuvrability.

New for SS25, this version is cut from tightly woven 12oz Japanese Kersey. Named after the English village from where it originated, Kersey is a hardwearing fabric characterised by its ridged twill weave. Woven using rope-dyed indigo warp yarns and a sulphur cheese-dyed black weft, the result is a warm, lightweight fabric that will gradually fade with high contrast, emphasising the three-dimensional nature of the weave.

This is the one for me

@Mister_Brue the link at the bottom of the page doesn’t seem to work but there are pics here on the preview page.

[ARNC]

@Mister_Brue I might have been looking at this and its beige brother a few minutes ago

I also really like the preview overview page for visuals of everything in one go.

[FlavourFade]

This one's the most interesting piece of the collection for me I think

[tvaillant75]

the most intriguing for me too

[BalticBob]

This is also the favorite for me, I also like that it's little boxier cut. I have found the summer jackets to be snug in the past, I like it but I do sometimes want to wear more than a Tshirt underneath.

Can someone point me in the direction of a similar fabric so I can see how this one might fade?

[Alex]

@BalticBob this is a new fabric, so not really. But you can see how indigo/black fades here:

And you could check out the thread for the IHSH-208-IND to see how indigo kersey fades

Nice, thank you! Really looking forward to this one and the measurements when we get there.

I came back to look at this one again after I watched the IH Germany release video because Shane wore the Jacket quite a bit at the start of the video. I am curious about the buttons in this colour; are they really this colour or are they a little more subdued in reality? I find that in the video, they stick out a lot and I keep looking at them. This is obviously a 100% subjective opinion but I was curious if I'm the only one? I know the camera can make things look a little different especially since the button's are glossy and the rest of the jacket is not, but I did find myself wondering what blue buttons would look like...

[Alex]

I think the colours of the photo are accurate. Buttons, are a pretty easy thing for you to change at home, though, so not exactly the end of the world if you felt like you wanted to make the swap

[ZackB]

I like the color of the buttons. I think it ties the brown collar together with the rest of the jacket.

[bluemantra]

I know in the reveal video it was stated this has a stiffer handful compared to the western and work shirts, but will it provide the same amount of warmth?

[Alex]

I’d have thought more

[AdamC]

Have been wearing this jacket for a week now to try and see how it ages after @tvaillant75 prompted the question. What I will comment on is what a beautiful jacket it is, very versatile worn with a tee or layered. I love how it feels throwing it on unlined and although it is quite a subtle kersey, the texture and density of the weave is - hoping I have enough time to see some evo pre launch!

[SKT]

@AdamC man that’s a great looking jacket. Does this replace the previous work jacket model like the 124’s? Or an entirely separate model?

[AdamC]

@SKT Just an entirely different model both of which were/are seasonal so the same pattern of either may not be produced again

[SKT]

@AdamC thanks man…both are great cuts

[tvaillant75]

@AdamC thanks for championing this jacket, looking forward to seeing the evo.

It also looks very nice on you, great fit! I useally size like you, is it a L or XL?
