UES "Post World War II" 14.9oz Denim Jacket

UES "Post World War II" 14.9oz Denim Jacket – Made in Japan

Inspired by the rare and utilitarian denim jackets of the late 1940s, this piece is a faithful homage to the era’s post-war design—when resourcefulness shaped every detail.

Crafted from UES’s signature 14.9oz selvedge denim, woven from 100% Zimbabwe cotton on vintage shuttle looms, the fabric promises durability, character, and fades that will only get better with time. One-wash processing ensures there’s no further shrinkage, while maintaining the rugged texture and feel of raw denim.Cut in a relaxed fit that mirrors the originals, this jacket offers comfort and mobility, making it as functional as it is timeless. Designed to be worn hard and kept for years, it reflects UES’s philosophy—derived from the English word “waste”—that every garment should be used to its fullest before being discarded.True to its historical roots, the jacket features:

• Single open chest pocket (no flap) — a nod to material-saving measures after WWII.
• 4-button front placket instead of the modern 5 — preserving the wartime ethos of efficiency.
• Classic pleated front for style and flexibility.
• Cinch-back waist adjuster for a customizable fit.
• Laurel wreath metal buttons with vintage military charm.
