counterculture movement of the 1960s and 1970s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt became a fashion symbol for subcultures such as rock fans, hippies and punks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe jacket represented freedom, individuality and rebellion against tradition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMany musicians and rock bands chose to wear the Levis 557 jacket, making it one of the symbols of rock music.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFrom psychedelic rock in the 1960s to punk rock in the 1970s, the influence of this jacket in the music industry cannot be overstated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt has become an important element for musicians to show their personality and fashion attitude.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe Type III denim jacket began in 1961 (1961-1966) as a modified version of TYPE II, with the batch number 557XX.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIn terms of appearance, the differences from TYPE II are as follows:\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe chest pocket has become pointed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThere are two V-shaped seams under the chest pocket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe cuffs and chest pockets are reinforced with seams instead of rivets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe back of the model has a 3-piece structure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIn 1961, the Type III jacket launched the wool blended lining version 559XX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt has the same style as 557XX, with a warm lining inside\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWhat is so good about denim fabrics produced in Japan?\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eJapan insists on using old-fashioned looms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe texture woven by old-fashioned looms is incomparable to modern machines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInsisting on using old-fashioned machines is a tribute to the ancient cultural product of denim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNow the new looms do not use shuttles, but use wind pressure or water pressure to send weft yarns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThey cannot use coarse yarns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-speed looms pull the warp yarns very hard, so the denim fabrics are very smooth and flat, and cannot reproduce the individual vitality of the cotton thread itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUsing old-fashioned looms, craftsmen can manually control the speed of the machine, so the loosely woven cotton can more vividly reflect the individuality of the cotton thread itself and the bumps and grooves of the cotton thread.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe customized denim fabric produced in Okayama, Japan, at JAPAN BLUE.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt uses American cotton yarn, and the weaving process is in the style of the 50s.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe fabric has a strong texture, a golden thickness of 14.5oz, and a specially customized pink ear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eYamachu Textile was in charge of planning, starting with the selection of cotton.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFirst, we found our ideal among the cotton collected from all over the world, and then weaving began.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThrough highly computerized weaving technology, in order to reproduce the retro expression, the uneven shape of the thread we pursued is randomly repeated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIt is easy to produce the line evenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOn the other hand, in order to make the thickness of the thread strong and weak, close to retro, as we pursued, it is difficult to maintain high quality while naturally expressing unevenness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe value of the so-called irregular thread is only required for jeans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUsing the old loom TOYODA GL-9, a total of 9 G-type automatic looms \"GL-g\" (produced in 1980) produced by Toyota Automatic Loom Co., Ltd. were started at the former logistics warehouse opposite the head office.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBecause it is an old model, there are no new replacement parts, so there are also two abandoned looms for parts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThis is a loom that requires frequent maintenance by skilled craftsmen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe old power loom is indispensable for expressing retro.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe shuttle with the weft thread goes back and forth at both ends of the fabric like sewing the warp thread, so that it has a selwich (ear) to prevent the ends of the fabric from being entangled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompared with the current mainstream innovative loom, its production efficiency is less than 3\/1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBecause the innovative loom is a loom that rotates at high speed, it is necessary to tighten the tension of the thread very strongly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlthough the surface of the woven fabric is even and beautiful, it is difficult to express the personality of the fabric with a flat expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOn the other hand, the old power loom can be fine-tuned by the tension method of the warp thread and the weaving speed of the skilled craftsmen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccording to this, the original feel of the thread and the unevenness, as well as the uneven weaving method, give rise to various personalities in the texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe old Japanese power loom is not a machine that can be controlled by a button, but a tool of skilled craftsmen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gizemo","offers":[{"title":"38","offer_id":52980955152663,"sku":"49676112560430","price":280.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"46","offer_id":53127162986775,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"44","offer_id":53127163019543,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"42","offer_id":53127163052311,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"40","offer_id":53127163085079,"sku":null,"price":280.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/5994\/1143\/files\/1_d3c2b832-17a5-4ccc-8996-2b856bab3894.jpg?v=1777566813","url":"https:\/\/therightgarment.com\/products\/gizemo-917-type-3","provider":"The
