Double Helix Frisco Teacore

We're excited about revealing that we've added Double Helix to the Wardrobe 19 as exclusive retailer in Denmark! Double Helix is a Japanese heritage brand devoted to the art of handmade leather jackets. Rooted in a deep respect for early 20th-century American workwear, military garments, and vintage motorcycle culture, the brand reinterprets iconic silhouettes with uncompromising Japanese precision. The result is outerwear built not only to last, but to evolve beautifully with time. The Frisco is Double Helix’ interpretation of a classic American mid-century leather jacket silhouette. Clean, balanced, and purpose-driven, it embodies understated confidence. Characterised by its structured fit, sharp collar, and minimal yet functional detailing, the Frisco sits perfectly between motorcycle heritage and everyday wearability (originally an aviation design.) Brass hardware adds warmth and depth against the dark leather, while the carefully considered proportions ensure a strong silhouette whether worn zipped up or open. This is a piece designed to age with its wearer and become uniquely personal over time. The Leather – Nitta Horsehide (Teacore) The Frisco is crafted from premium black teacore Nitta horsehide, a Japanese leather known for its density, strength, and dramatic aging potential. Horsehide’s tight fiber structure provides durability and a firm, structured hand. Initially robust, it gradually molds to the body with wear. The teacore finish means the leather is dyed black on the surface with a rich brown core underneath. As the jacket breaks in, high-wear areas reveal warm brown undertones, creating striking contrast and a patina that tells your story. This is leather with character from day one — and even more character after years of wear. The Frisco is not just a jacket. It’s a future vintage piece — built in Japan, inspired by history, and made to be worn for decades
