Fit
BDJ-05 TRUCKER JACKET has a slim cut, paying homage to vintage trucker style denim jackets. The fit features a slight tilt with a longer front and shorter back, enhancing the slim silhouette. Besides the two prominent chest pockets, the BDJ-05 features two hidden hand warmer pockets. The pocket bags function as two extra inside pockets too, providing enough space to store your valuables securely.
Fabric
We’ve dubbed our 15 oz. vintage indigo selvedge denim the ‘special #2’, as it’s the second proprietary BENZAK fabric to enter our main collection. The fabric is a 3x1 right hand twill construction, and the raw vintage indigo colour represents a shade of indigo used for denim during 1960s. We've developed the special #2 denim with thicker weft yarns than the warp yarns; usually this is the other way around. This gives the fabric an extra soft interior resulting in additional comfort from the get-go. The selvedge colours are ‘Azurri’ (blue) and ‘Oranje’ (orange). As well as being an aesthetic feature, the custom selvedge pays homage to both collaborating companies’ national sports colours, Italy & The Netherlands. It's also a nod towards the long-standing friendship between BENZAK and Candiani. This denim has been created exclusively for BENZAK by Candiani Denim in Robecchetto con Iduno, Italy, and is one of our core fabrics in the ‘European made’ line.
