The Wool-Lined Denim Jacket

September 22, 2025

Earlier this year we launched our Lee Rider-inspired Denim Jacket. Now we're following it up with a wool-lined version, built for the colder months without losing what made the original work.

The shell is 13.5oz selvedge denim, woven on traditional looms with a 30 inch bolt width. That narrow width is what gives you the signature selvedge edge, the self-finished line you can see on the front fold of the jacket. It's not decoration. It's a byproduct of how the denim is made, and it's part of why selvedge costs more and looks better with age.

Inside, we lined it with 100% wool flannel in a subtle check. Wool flannel breathes better than most synthetic linings and it holds heat without weighing the jacket down. Layer it under a coat in winter, or wear it on its own over a shirt in spring. It works both ways.

Like everything we make, this jacket is cut, sewn, and finished by hand. One jacket at a time. No production line, no shortcuts.

13.5 Oz Selvedge Denim
100% Cotton. Milled on traditional shuttle looms, Selvedge denim offers a unique self finished edge and a tighter weave structure than standard wide format denim. Origin: Korea.
Wool Flannel
100% Wool. Buttery smooth wool flannel with a subtle check, chosen for its medium weight that's versatile enough to wear in the cold while layering, and in spring with a shirt. Origin: Korea. Origin: Korea
Cotton Corduroy
100% Cotton. Extra soft corduroy lines the collar of the jacket for a comfortable wear. Origin: Korea
Antique Brass Buttons
Antique brass buttons feature an oak leaf design stamped onto the button head, with a nickel base and stud. Currently sourced from China as a placeholder until custom American-made buttons can be sourced. Origin: China.
Thread
Cotton-wrapped polyester for most stitching: looks like cotton, but stronger. 100% polyester used on serged seams for extra durability. Origin: USA.

Hand Cut Fabric

Every inch of fabric is cut by hand, one pattern at a time.

Straight-Stitch Construction

Every seam is assembled using a straight-stitch machine for a clean, strong finish. This method offers greater control and precision at every stage of construction.

Unwashed Selvedge

We intentionally leave the selvedge denim unwashed before sewing. This lets each customer develop their own unique fade and patina pattern through wear over time.
