Studio D'Artisan - Fox Cotton 12oz Denim Railroad Jacket OW [D4650] COMING SOON*

COMING SOON*

The Studio D’Artisan D4650 Fox Denim Railroad Jacket pairs the same unusual 12oz Fox Denim used in the D1929 Painter Pants with a loose 1940s railroad jacket silhouette. It looks like a traditional indigo work jacket at first glance, but the naturally coloured cotton used underneath gives the denim a subtle green cast and a character quite different from a conventional white-weft fabric.

At the centre of the jacket is Fox Cotton, a naturally coloured cotton associated with American cotton breeder Sally Fox. Rather than growing white and requiring additional dye to create its colour, the cotton used for the weft naturally carries its own green tone. Studio D’Artisan leaves that colour undyed, allowing the cotton itself to become part of the appearance of the finished denim.

Studio D’Artisan combines the naturally green Fox Cotton weft with an indigo-dyed warp to create its original 12oz Japanese denim. The green underneath gives the indigo a slightly different depth and undertone when viewed up close, particularly as the surface begins to fade. At 12oz, the fabric is also considerably easier and softer to wear from the beginning than many of the heavier denims associated with the brand.

The pattern takes its inspiration from American railroad jackets of the 1940s. Rather than using the shorter, more fitted proportions of a denim trucker, the D4650 has a longer body and a deliberately loose A-line silhouette that opens slightly toward the hem. The extra room reflects the practical layering requirements of vintage work jackets while giving the Fox Denim enough space to drape naturally.

Workwear construction continues through four large patch pockets across the front, along with an additional interior chest pocket. Triple-needle chainstitch sewing reinforces the jacket throughout, while custom Studio D’Artisan buttons and a leather brand patch finish the garment without taking attention away from the unusual fabric.

The jacket has been one washed, removing the majority of the initial shrinkage and softening the 12oz denim before wear. From there, the indigo warp will continue to fade while the naturally green Fox Cotton remains visible underneath, allowing the jacket to develop a warmer and more varied appearance as it ages.

Fabric & Care

100% cotton, 12oz Japanese denim using naturally coloured Fox Cotton.

The indigo-dyed warp is paired with a naturally green Fox Cotton weft, giving the fabric a subtle undertone that differs from conventional denim woven with a white weft. As the indigo gradually fades through wear and washing, more of that underlying colour and variation should become visible.

The jacket has received a one-wash treatment, so the majority of the initial shrinkage has already occurred. Some additional settling may still happen depending on water temperature and drying method.

Wash cold with a mild detergent and hang dry. Indigo transfer is expected when the jacket is new. Avoid tumble drying to help preserve the fit.

Fit

Loose, relaxed A-line fit inspired by 1940s railroad jackets.

The D4650 is deliberately generous through the chest and body, with the hem opening slightly to create its vintage A-line silhouette. It runs considerably roomier than many Studio D’Artisan jackets, and multiple retailers recommend sizing down for a more conventional fit.

For the intended roomy workwear silhouette, take your normal Studio D’Artisan size. For a cleaner fit with less layering room, consider sizing down. We recommend comparing the garment measurements against a jacket you already own before choosing your size.

One washed at the factory. Minimal further shrinkage with a cold wash and hang dry.
