The much talked about new item that looked so impressive in the catalogue has finally arrived.
This denim jacket is a fusion of American workwear and British military style, and is a true example of Nigel Cabourn.
I'm sure there are many people who have been eagerly awaiting its arrival.
40s DENIM JACKET -12.5oz
Item No. 80510030003
Colour : Indigo / Green
Size : 46 / 48 / 50 / 52 / 54
This is a piece that is typical of the brand, combining the design of a rare denim jacket from an American work brand that existed in the 1940s and a battle dress jacket used by the British Army.
Available in two colours: "Indigo," the classic denim jacket colourway.
And "Green," which focuses on green denim, a special fabric created by the British Army.
The design has a strong affinity with the historical background.

- A unique combination of buttons and zippers -
The most eye-catching feature of this product is the combination of a zipper and a change button.
The design is inspired by a rare vintage denim jacket from an American work brand.
At first glance, it may seem like a strange combination, but hidden within it is a clever solution to compensate for the sewing techniques of the time.
This is because the sewing technology at the time only allowed zippers to interlock, so the zipper would sometimes open if the fabric was pulled to the left or right.
It seems that they were used in conjunction with buttons to compensate for this shortcoming.
These are details that are rarely seen today, but you can feel the "reality of the era" that is contained within them.
- The zipper that became TALON -
The zippers used in this product are engraved with "HOOKLESS."
HOOKLESS is originally the name of a zipper manufacturing company.
HOOKLESS is said to have created the prototype of the zipper, but later changed its name to TALON.
That's right. The same TALON company that you're all likely to know.
Just as Nigel Cabourn's predecessor was the brand "CRICKET," TALON has a similar story.
It was with this niche perspective in mind that we decided to adopt this zipper.
Of course, taking into account the historical context of the time, we have finished it to the same specifications as vintage zippers, with the locking function deliberately removed.
- A design that combines work and military styles -
Featuring front pleats for ease of movement and a back cinch for an adjustable fit.
This product combines the classic design of a trendy denim jacket with the pocket design of the British Army's battle dress jacket.
Normally there would be two pockets on the front, but as a tribute to a certain highly acclaimed vintage denim jacket, the pockets are only placed on the left side of the jacket.
This is a unique design that combines durable workwear with dress military wear that was also used in military parades.
- High-quality denim fabric by Nigel Cabourn -
The denim used is 12.5oz original denim made by Nigel Cabourn.
It is tightly woven but not stiff, and the more you wear it the more it will conform to your body.
The fading and creases that occur over time are also part of the fun, and you can fully enjoy the process of the denim developing.
It can also be worn as a set with the British Army Pant Loose Denim, which is made from the same fabric, so we highly recommend you try it.

- Indigo -
Height: 187cm / Wearing Size: 54
The silhouette is designed with a wide body and a short length.
It strikes a balance between a classic look and a modern feel.
The Nigel style would be to pair this item with voluminous pants like the classic ARMY CARGO PANT or NEW BASIC CHINO PANT.
The buttoned top makes ties and bandanas stand out, so be sure to give it a try.
- Green -
Height: 175cm / Wearing Size: 50
This is a set that is paired with British Army pants loose denim made from the same fabric.
These pants are a classic item, so if you already have them, we recommend trying them out.
The styling is typical of Nigel Cabourn, with an orange beanie and vintage sweatshirt.
