OrSlow Type 1 1940’s Pleated Front One Wash Denim Jacket

In the 1940s, denim jackets were not yet called "jean jackets" and were referred to as "pleated blouses" due to the inclusion of pleats. The design of front pleats reflects a remnant from the 1800s. Fabrics that were not treated with anti-shrinkage processing after weaving would often shrink vertically. During the 1800s, it is said that garments were sewn using the fabric's horizontal direction, allowing the pleats to be undone after washing to widen the garment's width.

Even after transitioning to using fabric in the vertical direction, the design of front pleats has persisted and been inherited as a feature in modern times. Denim from the 1940s tended to have longer vertical variations compared to later denim. This difference in appearance could be attributed to whether the cotton used for the fabric was hand-picked or machine-harvested, but the exact cause is uncertain. Denim from the 1940s and the 1950s exhibit distinct variations in their appearances.

OrSlow 6011 utilises original denim with longer vertical variations compared to other materials. The back design features a T-back style for size 3 and above. This design appears to have been conceived during a time when resources were precious and efficiently utilising larger fabric sizes was essential
