WTB: Sashiko jacket (and advice?)
-
I posted a similar question in the r/rawdenim subreddit though the user base here seems to be well-informed, even outside of Iron Heart's offerings.
I did see that IH did offer an unstructured sport coat, but TBD on if there will be a restock.
I'm curious if anyone may have the aforementioned jacket in a L or XL that just isn't working for them so that I may give it a good life.
Additionally, some guidance on where I might find a nice sashiko jacket. In particular, I'm looking for a standard jacket, that is to say, one that's not the usual Type I or Type III jacket that's so common with us denim heads. With spring upon us, my Brave Star Ironside Trucker in their undyed seeded cotton (now called Desert Bone) has been in regular rotation, but I'd like something with some indigo.
Taylot Stitch has an interesting offering with their Crew Jacket, which is a mash-up of work and coach jacket styles. I kinda dig it. The chambray lining is a nice touch, though I don't love the elastic cuffs. I suspect I could have the cuffs altered if I was feeling froggy.
What else would you suggest? And where might I find such a jacket?

I saw that. Super cool. I'm warming up to the varsity/bomber style jackets. Usually, the double cuff on the sleeve can be a bit much when wearing a watch. But that fabric... oh yes!

I didn't even think of the Crissman! I have one of their very first editions in light oxford and it's excellent. They seem to have updated the hem a bit, which I like. I'll head down there this week and take a look at this and the Weekender. Great suggestion!

A new one to me. I'll give it a look. Thank you.

RGT Sashiko Supply Jacket or Cruiser Jacket. I believe they are currently out of stock, but they do occasional pre-orders. Snake Oil Provisions also does pre-orders. Definitely worth checking out. I think both jackets have a very nice silhouette.
