This jacket pays homage to the classic post-World War II design, capturing the essence of authenticity while embracing the utilitarian spirit of resourcefulness.
Crafted from the same distinguished 14.9oz flagship denim that defines UES, this jacket is a seamless extension of quality and character.
True to the era's ingenuity, this jacket features a single pocket without flap a subtle reminder of the material-saving measures that prevailed during times of scarcity. A button less than its modern counterparts, it carries with it the historical significance of utilizing resources prudently, while also adding an element of uniqueness.
Mirroring the relaxed fit of the original jacket from that time, the UES Post World War II jacket embraces a cut that encourages movement and comfort. It's not just a garment; it's a journey back in time.
UES is a small Japanese label founded by Chuji Matsumoto in 1994. UES comes from the English word "Waste", which means that Matsumoto-San wants you to make full use of each garment for as long as possible before discarding it. It is a small judgement of the concept of disposable wear that is so commonplace today in the world of fashion and from which Matsumoto-San disassociates himself completely.
