The new Flat Head's Denim Puffer Jacket is a fusion of contemporary warmth and timeless western charm. Born from the iconic design of their classic denim western shirts, this puffer jacket sets a new standard for cold-weather style and comfort.
Crafted with precision, the jacket features an extra-warm insulation layer and an inner lining of Navajo style combed cotton, ensuring optimal heat retention. A modern interpretation of the traditional western shirt, this puffer jacket embodies The Flat Head's commitment to quality and Japanese craftsmanship.
Drawing inspiration from their renowned denim western shirt, known for its 10oz indigo selvedge Japanese denim and vintage shuttle loom weaving, this jacket inherits a unique charm that evolves with every wear. Incorporating historical craftsmanship, the triangular gussets on the shoulders not only enhance the jacket's strength but also contribute to its distinctive style, paying homage to classic influences. The chest pockets with flaps and the iconic spread collar maintain the western shirt's essence, seamlessly adapted to a puffer jacket silhouette.
The commitment to authenticity is evident in details like the selvedge gussets. A nod to tradition is seen in the use of natural mother of pearl buttons, maintaining the brand's commitment to quality. The sleeve lining is attached with nylon fabric, ensuring good arm mobility. Even with a snug fit, it prevents the inner sleeves from catching, alleviating stress during wear and maintaining a streamlined silhouette.
Similar to its denim counterpart, this puffer jacket promises a unique fading experience with each use, gradually transforming into a beautiful light blue hue. Embrace the changing character of the denim as it weathers through the seasons.
The puffer jacket is more True to Size compared to other upper garments of the brand, such as t-shirts or sweatshirts, which tend to run small. Despite having a slim fit, we consider the True to Size sizing to be accurate. However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
The Flat Head is one of the benchmark Japanese repro Americana-style brands. Its founder, Mayashi Kobayashi, is known in the scene for being a die-hard fanatic of 1950s American style. Inspired by the music, motorbikes, cars, architecture of the era, and with a clear rockabilly influence, Kobayashi created in 1996 a truly authentic brand that today has some firm devotees. It stands out for the extreme quality of each one of its pieces. The brand is always very much aware of a curious philosophy that believes that a product is fully finished only after the customer has worn and moulded it to themselves.
