- The Type 3 Denim Jacket was first introduced in 1962 as Lot. 557XX, marking a major evolution in the history of denim jackets. The signature box pleats found on the earlier Type 1 and Type 2 models were removed, replaced by two chest pockets with distinctive V-shaped double stitching running downward from the pocket. This change created a cleaner and more balanced design that many people now recognize as the classic denim jacket.
Around the same period, another Type 3 variation known as Lot. 558 appeared. Produced until around 1966, the 558 featured a slightly longer body length and has become a highly regarded collector’s piece among vintage enthusiasts. It is also known as a favorite model of Boncoura founder Hisashi Morishima, and serves as the main inspiration behind the Boncoura Type 3 denim jacket.
The jacket uses Boncoura’s special “Ikemen” denim, slowly woven on vintage shuttle looms and finished with a sanforization process. This gives the surface a smoother, more even appearance with a subtle sheen. The handfeel is firm and crisp, while still retaining the depth and character that define Boncoura denim, giving the Type 3 jacket a different character compared to the Boncoura Type 1 and Type 2.
While following classic vintage details, the Type 3 jacket features longer sleeves and a longer body length. The silhouette also has a slimmer waist and narrower armholes, resulting in a more refined and modern look — a Type 3 jacket that feels both classic and effortlessly wearable today.
