M6011W (001) WWⅡ MODEL JACKET

Inspired by an UNKNOWN pair of vintage jeans crafted by a store-brand label from the 1940s, this piece has been reimagined through the lens of BIG JOHN. Based on the resource-conscious WWII (World War II) model—a design born under wartime material restrictions—this jacket has been faithfully updated with modern craftsmanship and practical enhancements.

Crafted from the series’ signature 10oz lightweight selvedge denim, the M6011W WWII MODEL JACKET explores the hypothetical question: “What if BIG JOHN had made a jacket in the 1940s?” The result is a garment that captures the spirit of wartime workwear while showcasing the rich character of denim aging—its fades, creases, and patina—over time.

■ Fabric Details
10oz WWII Selvedge Denim (Unfinished)
• Yarn count: 7/- × 10/-
• Composition: 100% Cotton (including 20% material-recycled cotton)
• Finishing: Sanforized, skewed, no singeing
• Garment: One-wash & sun-dried

Features 20% recycled cotton—made by re-spinning off-spec yarn, noil, and deadstock yarn from spinning mills. The result is a fabric with an intentionally rough texture, visible neps, and a dry, uneven hand feel.
Woven on vintage shuttle looms at high density, this denim delivers a vintage-inspired look with a distinctive bounce and firmness rarely found in lightweight denim.

■ Design Details
• Classic work jacket with front pleats
• Selvedge detail hidden inside the placket—a subtle nod to vintage construction
• Iron donut buttons with laurel motif
• One-wash & sun-dried for a natural finish
• Large dual chest pockets for utility
• Stitched entirely with cotton thread for an authentic, aged appearance
• Set-up compatible: pairs perfectly with the M1011W WWII Model Jeans

Though rooted in vintage aesthetics, the jacket embraces a stripped-back, minimal design that feels at home in both casual and clean-lined styling. A faithful reinterpretation of 1940s utilitarian ideology—revived through the uncompromising lens of BIG JOHN.
