The Wingman is the Type II counterpart to our Bluejay Type III—built from the same 17oz raw sanforized selvedge denim and fitted with our custom solid zinc hardware.
It’s structured, substantial, and designed to wear hard and age beautifully. Design & Details: A modern interpretation of a mid-century work jacket, the Wingman features two front patch pockets, two hidden hand-warmer pockets, and a rounded stand collar lined in corduroy. The collar shape draws from 1950s campus jackets—low-profile yet structured. Inside, red twill piping and inset panels reinforce key seams while adding a subtle pop of color. The back includes pleats and an adjustable buckle tab for a clean, tailored fit.
Fabric: Cut from 17oz selvedge denim woven on mid-century shuttle looms. Sanforized for minimal shrinkage, it offers deep indigo saturation, smooth texture, and long-term fade potential. Finished with a red-line selvedge ID as a nod to traditional denim craft. Construction: Triple-stitched seams, chain-stitched hems, and our proprietary zinc hardware ensure strength and longevity. Every jacket is built in our own workshop, where we oversee pattern drafting, sewing, and final inspection. Break-In & Care: Expect it to start stiff and structured, softening with wear as it molds to your frame. Fade patterns develop naturally through use—no shortcuts. Spot clean when needed and avoid early washing to let the denim’s character come through. Designed in Toronto. Built in our own workshop. Produced in small batches.
