The THE REAL McCOY’S LOT. 001J / EARLY MODEL follows a denim pattern introduced in the early 1900s and one which is widely regarded as one of the most iconic workwear garments in history. Known as the “First Type” denim jacket, it featured a boxy silhouette, a pleated front with a single front pocket with a button flap, and cinch-back adjusters at the waist for a customisable fit. The jacket became a staple for laborers, miners, and railroad workers in the early 20th century, valued for its durability and quality of construction.

This jacket’s design set the foundation for future denim jacket patterns. Its utilitarian features and timeless style ultimately influencing countless reproductions and modern interpretations.

THE REAL McCOY’S LOT. 001J / EARLY MODEL denim fabric has been woven using yarn spun on Japan’s oldest spinning machines, shared with the 001 and 004 series. The indigo dyeing process involves seven dips to faithfully replicate the coloration techniques of the era.

The denim fabric itself has been meticulously reimagined through extensive testing and adjustments, evaluating yarn quality, thread count, and the number of indigo dye applications to reconstruct a vintage aesthetic.
