20 ounces of waxed canvas and genuine shearling
The RJ-2 is Freenote Cloth's take on the classic Riders Jacket, this time with a heavy-duty zipper and enough insulation to make a harsh winter feel like a minor inconvenience.
Made in the USA, the outer shell is constructed from substantial 20 oz Martexin waxed canvas by Fairfield Textiles. Tough, weather-resistant, and built to develop its own character with every year of wear. The Tobacco colour is a rich, earthy brown that will only get better as the canvas creases, fades, and picks up the marks of a life well spent outdoors.
Inside, things get rather more comfortable. The body and collar are lined with genuine shearling, carefully selected for its dense 12 mm wool. It's exceptionally warm without sacrificing the rugged construction that makes this jacket what it is. The sleeves feature custom Japanese quilted satin lining, making it considerably easier to slip on over a thick flannel or wool jumper.
The details are exactly what you'd expect from Freenote Cloth. An action back with elasticated gussets provides freedom of movement, while double-needle stitching, front pleats, shearling-lined welt pockets, and custom metal hardware complete the construction. Even the heavy-duty 10-gauge zipper was specially sourced from Universal Zippers in Japan.
It's the warmest jacket Freenote Cloth has ever made. And quite possibly the last serious winter jacket you'll need to buy.
No unnecessary fuss. Just excellent materials, proper American manufacturing, and a jacket that means business when the temperature drops.
