JAPAN BLUE JEANS / Moleskin 1st Blouson

Special order jacket with a lot of attention
Introducing a special order item by ROCOCO, in which the moleskin fabric is made into the shape of the model commonly known as the Levi's 1st.

The 1st model is said to be the original G-jacket, featuring two pleats on the front placket, a flap pocket on the left chest, and a belt on the back waist. These details and the depth of the moleskin suede-like look are fused together to create an item that will fit you better the more you wear it, and you can also enjoy the way it changes over time.








JAPAN BLUE JEANS
A denim brand with a textile manufacturer in Kojima, Okayama Prefecture, which boasts global recognition as a famous denim production area. The brand was launched in 2011 to spread the quality of MADE IN JAPAN DENIM overseas. The brand proposes jeans with a new sense of value, combining a silhouette recognized in Europe and the U.S. with the quality of domestic production.






The Charm of Moleskin
Moleskin made of 100% cotton is said to be stronger than canvas or denim among cotton materials. It is characterized by a refined texture like suede leather and a thick yet moist and soft feel.

The fur is shortened to prevent pilling and give it a smooth and elegant texture. The color and texture of the fabric will change over time as it is worn repeatedly.








Attention to Detail
The model commonly known as Levi's 1st features a pocket sewn with a separate fabric on the left chest only. The two pleats on the front placket create a sense of spaciousness and ensure ease of movement when worn.



The leather patch at the neck and JAPAN BLUE's original doughnut buttons are used for the buttons, and the finish shows the attention to detail. In addition, the cinch back, a copper component that adjusts the fit, is located at the waist, a detail that symbolizes the 1st.








Fun split back
The split back was used in vintage large size jackets (46" and larger) to give the back a T-shape. Due to the limited fabric width of the denim looms of the time, large size jackets were made up of two pieces in the back. The two-piece design was incorporated into the design as a sense of fun.

Combining the best of vintage and modern elements
The body width is set about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wider with a vintage feel and the length is set slightly longer, creating a well-balanced silhouette that is easy to match with a variety of items. It blends well with a trendy style with wide pants or a clean style with slim pants.
