Field Notes

The Vanishing West range of denim by Freewheelers has gained itself an enviable reputation amongst denim purists, and with good reason. This brand put a wealth of knowledge into everything they do, and overlook no detail in the production process. This 1933 Type-I model denim jacket features nuanced detail such as a slightly smaller branded button, which has been lightly coated in anti-rust, and a wider spread collar than other versions.

Cut in a short, boxy shape from a rinsed 14oz fabric, this iconic jacket offers a selvedge button plate, sewn in knife pleats, a single chest pocket with punch through copper rivets and button flap, and a custom manufactured cinch buckle to adjust the shape of the waist.

Garment Care

How to Wash
Step 1

When you’re ready to wash your jeans, button the fly and turn them inside out. Doing up the fly ensures the jeans maintain their shape, and turning them inside out avoids unwanted marks from the washing machine drum on the indigo.

Step 2

Place the jeans in your washing machine with neutral detergent, and set them on a non/low-spin wash at cold–20 degrees for raw, or up to 30 degrees for pre-washed. High spin may cause unwanted 'lightning fades', and washing too hot can cause excess shrinkage, so it’s important to follow these steps carefully!

Step 3

Once your jeans are done washing, hang them somewhere safe and allow them to air dry. Putting your jeans in a tumble dryer has a high chance of degrading the fabric and misshaping your jeans. Make sure wherever you hang them has proper drainage, as you’ll be expecting some indigo runoff.
