{"product_id":"mule-ear-jacket","title":"Mule Ear Jacket","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA reinterpretation of the zip-front denim work jackets of the mid-1900s, cut wide through the body and cropped at the waist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe primary reference is the Lee 91-B, a zip-front denim work jacket cut short in the body. Alongside it, the Hercules work jackets sold by Sears, Roebuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eConstructed from a 13.5oz Japanese denim milled by Kaihara in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan. Kaihara runs every stage in house: cotton selection, spinning, rope dyeing, weaving, and finishing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe wash is achieved through a process that draws indigo out of the base fabric. Wear is introduced through whiskering at the inner elbows, fade lines along the seams, and distressing across the body, with abrasion at the cuffs and hem where denim naturally breaks down with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSeams are flat-felled, with the major seams triple-stitched. The sleeves are cut in two pieces, shaped to follow the bend of the arm, with the seams converging at the cuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe collar is a fine 13-wale cotton corduroy in washed charcoal. The jacket is lined throughout, sleeves included, in a striped 100% cotton flannel, yarn-dyed so the stripe is woven into the cloth rather than printed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe lower pockets carry the mule ear flap, a continuation of the pocketing language established on the Mule Ear Denim. A zip chest pocket sits above, with an internal pocket inside the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFinished with four types of hardware: a two-way YKK zip in antique brass at the front, a teardrop YKK zip in antique brass at the chest pocket, floral-embossed silver YKK buttons on the flap pockets, and black fish-eye corozo buttons at the cuffs and waistband.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eDiagonal slash pockets at the front. The cargo pockets are bellowed, built with two vertical pleats and a bottom and side expansion gusset, so they carry volume and sit flat when empty, closing on hidden internal snaps. Knees are pleated for articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe hem closes on an external webbing strap and a two-position button, holding the leg opening at a set width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe waistband is grown on, cut in one piece with the body panels rather than applied as a separate band, and lined in a natural cotton twill carried through to the pocket bags. Seams are flat-felled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFinished with a YKK gold zip fly, dark olive urea suspender buttons, webbing waist adjusters, and clean internal construction throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BLANK CO.","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":67692212355350,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":67692212388118,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":67692212420886,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":67692212453654,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":67692212486422,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/6677\/4806\/files\/MEJ-ECOM.jpg?v=1791782373","url":"https:\/\/blank-co.store\/products\/mule-ear-jacket","provider":"BLANK CO.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
