Vintage appeal is not limited to famous labels or established classics. Clothing that once belonged to everyday life can reveal a different kind of interest with the passing of time.

This UNIQLO denim jacket dates from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. Its flapped chest pockets and V-shaped front seams recall the classic Levi’s 557XX (Type III)–70505 trucker design. Deep indigo denim, brown contrast stitching and engraved metal buttons bring an American workwear silhouette into the history of an everyday Japanese clothing brand.

With established vintage denim, part of the pleasure lies in tracing a brand’s history and its iconic models. Old UNIQLO offers another kind of discovery: finding an earlier chapter of a familiar name. These were everyday clothes, rather than pieces necessarily set aside as collectibles. That ordinary origin gives this jacket its distinctive place in vintage clothing.

Old UNIQLO is also represented in international vintage marketplaces. As the years pass, the opportunity to carry forward a still-wearable piece with its deep indigo intact becomes increasingly meaningful. What was once ordinary clothing becomes a record of its time. This jacket invites you to enjoy that transition.

Choosing vintage is not only about buying an already celebrated piece. Discovering something through your own eye, and continuing to wear it for years, is also part of slow fashion.

Only one available.
