We've created a full-back Type 1 jacket in size 46, which is incredibly rare for such a large size. Or rather, we "accidentally created it."

Originally, large-sized denim jackets, made from narrow selvage denim, were T-back specifications with a split in the back. The amount of fabric needed for one garment is called "yardage," but by ignoring that and eliminating the split, you get a full-back.

Even with original pieces, I always wondered why a large-sized full-back existed instead of a T-back. Now I understand the reason. They're made by mistake. I learned this firsthand.

However, when I tried it on, there was no vertical stitching on the back to rub uncomfortably. So, it's actually a wonderful product, and we're selling it.


One size. As it's raw fabric, unsanforized, and without anti-twist treatment, the product will be shipped in a one-washed, pre-shrunk condition.

The body and shoulder widths are generous, but the sleeve length has been shortened so that the sleeves aren't too long even for someone with a typical Japanese physique.

The indigo is WORKERS' standard 7x7 warp and weft, but with the weft changed to #6, creating "XH (Extra Heavy)" denim.

The black is 7x7 warp and weft.
We used "WKS-MEM7," a yarn made from 100% U.S. medium-staple cotton (EMOT: Eastern Memphis Orleans Texas) spun into WORKERS' original uneven shape.

When creating our original denim, I wanted to know what kind of cotton old L-types used.
So, I asked a Japanese cotton import trading company, and we visited Memphis grain majors, farms, and cotton sorting facilities.

The most helpful person was a veteran employee at a grain major.

When asked, "What kind of cotton did denim fabric spinners like Cone Mills use in the past?" the answer was simply, "A blend of U.S. cotton."

In the past, U.S.-produced cotton was cheaper than importing it from overseas.
Furthermore, the reason for "blending" was for quality stability.

Fiber length, cotton color, and the amount of cotton shell remaining. To ensure these are as "consistent year after year" as possible, blending makes it more stable.
If you specify a particular field or cotton type, you're out of luck if there's a drought, flood, or pest infestation that prevents a harvest.
That's why it was "a blend of EMOT from the U.S."

So, WORKERS also uses EMOT cotton, and the unevenness of the yarn was replicated by dissecting vintage clothing. That's WKS-MEM7.
At the time, "U.S. cotton, 100% EMOT #7 yarn" wasn't made by yarn manufacturers as an original product.
When the yarn for over 1000 pairs of jeans was produced all at once, I was half hopeful and half afraid, wondering if we could really make and sell that much.

Thanks to this, WORKERS' denim is continuously produced, receiving praise for its unique softness and comfort.
We are truly grateful to those who make and buy our products.

The 46-sized full-back arrived with Mr. Tateno's lament, "I made it by mistake!"

A full-back in size 46, which should only exist as everyone's beloved T-back.

This means it's an ultra-luxurious make.

Considering comfort, it's definitely better not to have a T-back.

The sleeve length is also set shorter, so it's recommended for those who want width but prefer shorter body and sleeve lengths.

The images show it on a size M mannequin.
