The Zip Trucker Jacket embodies a commitment to timeless design and artisanal craftsmanship. Rooted in the language of utilitarian workwear, it reimagines classic silhouettes with a contemporary sensibility, while preserving the quiet beauty of garments shaped by time. Subtle fading, carefully selected fabrics, and intricate natural dyeing details lend the piece a character that feels both lived-in and enduring.
The jacket’s deep rustic navy hue is achieved through a meticulous, multi‑stage dyeing process. It begins with immersion in active indigo, where careful oxidation and rinsing establish a rich blue foundation. To deepen the tone, Chinese Gall — infused with mineral ions — serves as a natural mordant. Derived from gall nuts formed on Chinese sumac trees (Rhus chinensis), this dye has been valued for centuries in traditional medicine, ink‑making, and textile work. Through repeated rounds of dyeing, the fabric gradually acquires its layered, nuanced shade of navy, resulting in a finish that feels both organic and enduring.
Completing the design, Riri zippers with a gun metal finish are employed — selected for their precision, durability, and understated elegance, reinforcing the balance of function and refinement at the heart of the piece.
