This is a heavyweight upgrade to a familiar piece. Part cafe-racer jacket, parter trucker jacket, the RJ2 has been a well-loved mainstay of Freenote's collection for years. Inspired by the sherpa trucker jackets of years past, everything has been upgraded from the inside-out.
The whole garment revolves around the 100% shearling lining, hand-selected for color and quality. Typically, sherpa jackets used low-grade or synthetic shearling, rather than the luxury-level goods. The exterior of the garment is a heavyweight tobacco waxed canvas, that resists wind, water, and will develop a beautiful patina over time. Holding it shut is the heaviest zipper we've ever seen from Universal Zipper in Japan. It's sewn up with Freenote's signature tight 1/8" double needle stitching, and all of the hardware is custom-made for them.
The fit is further enhanced with a pleated front, bi-swing gussets at the arms, and an adjustable action back for ease of movement. The sleeves are lined with a custom quilted satin that slides easily over other fabrics and feels great on bare skin, and if storage is your concern, then you can enjoy this jacket's 4 highly functional pockets (two handwarmers at the front, a zip chest pocket, and a single internal chest pocket).
