The Encampment Company guarantees the construction and quality of everything that we make. Our jackets are always made from the best fabrics just like all of our other garments that you love so much.

ABOUT THE FABRIC

The answer to the first question you have: Yes, it fades. It won’t ever fade like your jeans because the weft yarns are also black but the warped yarns are slightly slubby and are yarn-dyed so they have an inconsistent white core that generates unique fading but will never-ever go acid-washed-white and will always be generally a dark black with nice accent.

The second question you have: Yes, it’s milled in Japan. It is from Yoshiwa Mills. Expect nothing but the best quality fabrics to match the construction.

note from the maker

The Levi’s Type III trucker jacket is the cornerstone of denim outerwear. When I was 15 I got my hands on my brother’s Big-E Levi’s jacket from the 50’s and I fell in love with it and I refuse to give it back to this day, sorry Nick.. The years of wear were so apparent in every fiber. I wanted to bring the original construction back to life, down to the 3/16” shoulder seams. Since I started making these jackets I have had nothing but incredible reviews on the fabric as well as the incredible fit.
