- The Type 2 Denim Jacket was first introduced around 1952 as an improvement to the earlier Type 1 jacket. It adopted a more balanced design with two chest pockets, while retaining the front pleats and buttons from the original model. At the same time, the back cinch was removed and replaced with side adjusters at the waist, making the jacket easier to wear and style in everyday situations.
The Boncoura Type 2 model uses Boncoura’s special 15oz “Ikemen” denim. The fabric is developed from the yarn stage, with careful attention given to cotton selection, blending ratio, and the spinning method. The denim is then slowly woven on vintage shuttle looms under low tension. This approach gives the fabric a firm structure with natural resilience while allowing it to retain a rich texture and depth.
In Japanese, this distinctive handfeel is often described as “koshi,” a term used to express firmness with elasticity — similar to the satisfying bite of well-made udon noodles.
While preserving classic vintage details, the silhouette has been refined by Boncoura with a slightly shorter length, a roomy chest, and wider armholes. This allows for comfortable movement while maintaining the character of the original design — a quiet refinement that reflects Boncoura’s approach to classic denim.
