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.
Its distinctive finish is achieved through a meticulous dyeing process that layers the cool depth of indigo with the natural warmth of Sappanwood. The colour journey begins with an immersion in indigo, where the fabric absorbs the deep, moody blue tones through a delicate process that requires careful moderation of oxidation to preserve the richness of the hue. Once rinsed and dried, the garment enters its transformative second stage — a bath of Sappanwood dye. This dye is extracted by boiling Sappanwood chips in water, creating a vibrant solution into which the fabric is immersed and heated, allowing the pigment to penetrate the fibres. The longer the fabric remains in the bath, the more vivid and warm the final tone becomes. The result is a striking gradient effect, where the cool soulfulness of indigo harmonises with the earthy warmth of Sappanwood.
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.
