Introducing the Super Fade Denim Birch Jacket

A true labour of love, the Super Fade Denim Birch Jacket began life in our 13oz indigo raw denim before undergoing a meticulous transformation to achieve the perfect, time-worn patina. Inspired by one of Adam’s favourite vintage jackets from our archive, each piece undergoes over twenty individual washes using pure spring water and no harsh chemicals. Layer by layer, the indigo is softened until the perfect vintage fade is achieved.
From there, each jacket is hand-sanded, whiskered, and given small, natural-looking abrasions - placed exactly where they’d appear after years of honest wear. This attention to detail ensures every jacket captures the soul of a treasured piece from the ’90s: instantly familiar, yet utterly new.

No two are ever the same. This is not just a wash - it’s a process shaped by human hands and natural elements, resulting in a complete one-off you won’t find anywhere else. The Super Fade blends the authenticity of vintage with the enduring quality and considered fit of our signature Birch Jacket, creating something truly special for your wardrobe.

Fit: Our Birch Denim Jacket is designed to a slightly shrunken fit - not boxy or oversized. While our spec hasn’t changed in 10 years, this latest delivery fits a little more snug than previous versions. The natural cotton denim, combined with our super fade wash garment wash, can lead to slight variations in final fit. We recommend sizing up for the best fit.

Japanese Denim: Constructed from 13oz Japanese narrow loom selvedge denim from the esteemed Nihon Menpu Mill in Okayama, this fabric tells a story of tradition and skill. Woven slowly and with intention, every inch reflects the meticulous quality that defines true Japanese denim.

Unique Details: Finished with our signature sashiko-embroidered interior pocket thats faded beautifully from the garment washing, custom branded hardware, and tonal twill detailing at the cuffs and pocket flaps, this jacket carries the understated yet refined identity of TWC.

Manufactured in China (but not as you'd imagine): 
As an ever-evolving brand where quality, sustainability, and craftsmanship reign supreme, our choice to collaborate with a small artisan factory in China (the sister factory to our jean maker in Japan) with only 30 workers - is a deliberate step towards excellence.

We have chosen to support our Japanese jean maker who set up a small factory in China five years ago, with the ambition of teaching them the 'Japanese way' and focus on the art of the craft rather than making huge quantities. Our journey has led us to discover that the essence of craftsmanship knows no geographical boundaries. Our decision to manufacture in China is not about cutting corners; it's about finding the perfect blend of craftsmanship, efficiency, and global collaboration to create garments that reflect our commitment to quality and sustainability. It's a journey that transcends borders, bringing the best of the world to your wardrobe. But, just as important for us this is about our belief and trust in our friends' vision to oversee the artisan practice of crafting the best quality possible.
