Freenote Cloth Classic Denim Jacket 12 Ounce Vintage Blue Denim
A true staple in any wardrobe, the Freenote Cloth Classic Denim Jacket is their take on the timeless trucker jacket. Crafted from 12oz broken twill Vintage Blue Japanese selvedge denim. Around 9 years ago, Freenote stumbled upon a vintage roll of selvedge with a unique pale blue color. Ever since, recreating “Old Blue” – the nickname given to the original roll of fabric – has been a passion project for the brand. At first, they tried to find the original manufacturer, so they approached the now defunct Cone Mills White Oak. Although they couldn’t find any records of making this particular denim, they did offer some insight into its origin. Like many products in wartime, dye is often a scarce commodity. They’ve never been able to pinpoint when the denim fabric was manufactured, but it is likely that the distinct pale blue color was an invention of necessity in the midst of wartime rationing. Matching this shade of blue was no easy task, but after 8 years of trial and error, Freenote finally has a faithful reproduction of “Old Blue.”
Freenote Cloth has made thoughtful modifications to the classic design—the front chest pockets feature elegantly curved flaps, while the standard welt pockets have been replaced with hand pockets seamlessly built into the front panels for a cleaner look and enhanced functionality. Interior pockets provide extra storage, perfect for carrying a wallet or other essentials.
Designed with durability and style in mind, this jacket includes classic zigzag stitch detailing, 1/8" double needle construction, custom metal trims, and a premium SB Tanning Co. leather patch. Made from 100% cotton and proudly crafted in the USA, it combines rugged craftsmanship with timeless appeal.
This versatile piece can be effortlessly styled—layer it over a crisp white shirt and chinos for a refined look, or pair it with a simple tee and jeans for an iconic denim-on-denim ensemble.
Fit Notes: The cut features a slight slim fit and stays true to standard sizing. If you usually wear a size M in Freenote or other American brands, you'll find a suitable fit with this jacket in size M. However, as always, we recommend consulting our size chart for the perfect fit.
