IndigoEstablishing the brand in Okayama, Japan, Yutaka Fujihara has always had an affinity for workwear and denim. The pieces produced by New Manual are faithful to a vintage aesthetic, with the wash and wear painstakingly done by hand by the New Manual team.
Using the same materials and manufacturing methods from the 1940s, 50s and 60s, designer Yutaka Fujihara and his team of craftsmen use an incredible amount of detail to meet the specs and quality of the original garments. This jacket is based on an extremely rare Levi’s Type 2 jacket from the 1950’s, of which only four are known to exist in Japan. This piece features a unique “T back” split detail in the back.
New Manual pieces are designed based on specific vintage pieces, in the same size and detailing as those pieces. Therefor each model is made in only one size. This jacket was based on a 1950’s US size 46 but has been washed and shrunken down to roughly size US 40.
