An indigo herringbone twill linen work jacket, estimated from the 1940s.
A truly exceptional arrival.
Many seek pieces crafted from indigo linen of this quality. Yet herringbone twill variants remain particularly elusive.
While indigo linen smocks surface with some regularity even today, work jackets of this construction have become decidedly scarce. Finding one in its native habitat proves genuinely difficult.
The particular hand of indigo linen—that subtle, fluid movement in the cloth—is unmistakable.
The yellow embroidery detail at the chest pocket adds a quiet charm to the piece.
Where many examples tend toward smaller proportions, this jacket lands at what we consider a golden size for the Japanese frame, making it accessible across a broader range of builds.
The condition is remarkably preserved. No notable soiling or damage. For its era, it presents as genuinely clean.
This is not something one simply purchases with money. Future availability cannot be assured.
A piece of considerable rarity. If you have been searching for something of this calibre, this warrants serious consideration.
