Japanese Wabash Stripe Moleskin Ranch Jacket - Espresso Brown

Some of you may be familiar with what a Wabash Stripe is, and some may not. But if you've been with us for a while, you've definitely come across the technique it uses.

The Wabash Stripe is a discharge print, most often found on Indigo-dyed fabrics, dating back to as early as the 1850s from Stifel, one of the most renown names in historic workwear garments.

We're extremely excited about our iteration. We developed this discharge-printed moleskin, but it's not like our usual moleskin. This particular fabric is more akin to the old French workwear versions of moleskin - harder wearing, no real nap on the fabric, and still needs to be broken in a bit. It's also a much narrower, finer dotted-stripe printed than what you would normally seen on a Wabash stripe. This gives it more of a salt-and-pepper look at first glance.

The ranch jacket is one of our favorite creations. Taking cues from a couple different denim jackets from the Wythe westernwear archives, we designed the jacket to hit at the high-hip. These aren't a particularly slim fit, but closer to an athletic fit. Treat this jacket like you would your favorite denim trucker.
