Welp gonna do a little review on a GAP type III denim jacket.
Originally on sale for $149 IIRC. I never thought twice about it. Never looked. Went to GAP in September to buy one of the denim workshirts that old26 bought. $30 and I was happy. Went over to clearance and found this bad boy. Of course GAP doesn't give you every spec but here it goes.
13oz indigo same as the jeans as far as I can tell
Made in china from Japanese shuttleloom woven denim. Gap says woven on vintage looms.
Red selvedge ID
Raw never washed and decently stiff.
Gap 1969 bronzed hardware
Construction is where this really hit it out of the ball park. Selvedge is on both sides. Decent hardware. Flat felled seams! Which nearly blew me away since my old lucky brand was not. Canvas pocket bags on the interior looks like the same canvas Gustin is using on the "new heavy" pocket bags. Also they tell you it will shrink approx a size when washed. So of course it fits large now but after wear and a wash it will tighten up as one would expect.
Best part $35 on clearance. $70 for two quality denim items at GAP I was souped.
