NUDIE JEANS Howie Painter Denim Jacket Dark Blue

The Howie jacket features a generous fit, embodying the essence of a true work jacket. Crafted from our “Painter Denim,” a deeply saturated pure indigo 2/1 denim, this jacket is detailed with Nudie Jeans’ signature orange thread and stainless steel “Donut” buttons. The result is a meticulously crafted, vintage-inspired denim with an expertly tailored fit, brought to life by the bold contrast of our signature orange thread. A thoughtful reinterpretation of traditional workwear, blending past influences with Nudie Jeans’ aesthetic.

Curious about the “Painter Denim”? We’re glad you asked. We spent years meticulously developing this fabric to achieve the look and feel of classic 2/1 workwear denim. Made from irregular ring-spun yarns in both warp and weft, the warp is yarn-dyed to a deep pure indigo tone, while the weft is dyed a grey shade. Woven in a 2/1 Z construction, the fabric presents a flatter surface compared to the more common 3/1 denim, resulting in a uniform rich blue hue. With a substantial weight of 11.8 oz, this robust denim offers durability and a dynamic break-in journey. As it ages, the stiffness creates natural creases, while the irregular texture and deep indigo tones evolve, revealing beautiful highs and lows over time.
