Dehen's Pilot Jacket taps into vintage militaria, directly inspired by American military flight and bomber jackets, and adopts their relaxed shape into a more casual piece of outerwear, just as civilians and veterans have been doing for decades. It has a classic fit and a shorter length with room for layering, and a simple body with two handwarmer pockets, a zip front, and ribbed knit worsted wool cuffs, collar, and hem.
The fabric is a 12oz Japanese indigo-dyed Sashi-Ori, easily one of Dehen's most interesting seasonal fabrics to date. Sashi-Ori is a traditional Japanese woven cotton fabric, made to reproduce the intricate stitched texture of traditional Japanese sashiko mended garments. The material is densely woven for workwear functionality and long-lasting durability, with a ton of texture across the fabric that adds immensely to the ageing of the fabric.
Please keep in mind that the indigo overdye will fade, and could discolour light coloured garments and fabrics through friction and bleeding, particularly before the first couple of washes.
