Made of  heavily  laundered vintage French linen slipcovers and Italian navy blankets from the 1950s the Trouper DLG parka for women takes style and functionality to new levels with  intricate details and a detachable inner layer that can be worn on its own. This beauty is now available at Denham.

Described as the ”ultimate hero jacket with a genuine piece of history sewn in,” Denham the Jeanmaker’s latest women’s creation is a special edition “Spy” biker jacket combining antique textiles from Bangkok and leather.

Created on narrow hand-looms and dyed using ancient resistance-wax techniques, these fabrics are among the most beautiful in the world of indigo cloth. The team was able to procure a mix of antique textile items, such as accordion skirts and simple smocks, as well as unstitched textile yardage. The final range of fabrics included both very old specimens and examples of indigo fabric as it is still woven and treated by tribes like the Hmong today.

Take a look at some details  of the fierceness on the next page.
