This jacket was one of the first pieces the guys from Freenote designed for the birth of the brand. It quickly became a staple and they consider it their version of the classic trucker style jacket. The’ve modified the design of the front chest patch pockets by adding a curved shape to the flap and pocket. Switched the typical welt pockets with a pocket built into the front panels of the jacket.

Natural indigo is obtained from a variety of plants, the most widely used one being indigofera tinctoria. This shrub grows wild and is cultivated in tropical areas throughout the world. Indigo powder – the famous blue dye – is extracted from the leaves of the indigo plant.
To make it short, there’s a difference between natural indigo dye (that comes from plants) vs synthetic indigo dye (that… doesn’t). As a result of that, the dyeing process generally requires more work with natural dye opposed to synthetic.
