Y2 Type 2 Jacket

The Y'2 Leather "IB-141 Indigo Horse Hide Type 2 Jacket" is a leather jacket inspired by the classic Type 2 denim jacket from the 1950s, crafted from a uniquely innovative indigo-dyed horsehide.

This jacket combines traditional craftsmanship with modern versatility, making it a high-quality leather jacket that is both stylish and practical.

Y2 Indigo Horsehide

Typically, indigo dye is difficult to adhere to leather. However, after years of repeated trials by skilled tanners, Y’2 has successfully perfected the process of bonding indigo dye to leather. The base color of the leather is initially dyed to a shade resembling "natural" white color. As the indigo fades over time, this "natural" base color will gradually emerge, creating an effect similar to the fading of denim. 

This jacket is made from approximately 1.3 mm thich horsehide, treated with a specialized indigo dyeing process. The bond between the leather and the indigo dye is remarkably stable, minimizing the risk of color transfer to other items while offering the ability of aging and fading with wear. 

The jacket’s minimalist design preserves the iconic features of the Type 2 denim jacket, such as twin pleats on the front and a two chest pocket. To emphasize the natural texture of the leather, the design omits back pleats. But different from the Type I twin jacket, it preserves the side adjuster tabs, resulting in a cleaner and more streamlined look.

The interior is made of a blend of 80% cotton and 20% linen for enhanced comfort, while the sleeves are lined with durable nylon fabric for ease of wear. Brass buttons adorned with a laurel wreath motif are used on the front placket and cuffs, adding a vintage touch to the jacket.
