Early 2000s Pepe Jeans jacket crafted from a mid-blue cotton denim in a heavily faded, stonewash finish. Crafted in a boxy, slightly cropped silhouette with a classic pointed collar and elongated sleeves; Contrast tobacco brown stitching follows the curved panelling while touches of white piping and a striped ribbed hem elevate the piece from classic denim jacket to a distinctively retro sportswear feel. Bold racer inspired appliqués are carefully placed around the jacket, with a large PEPE JEANS spell out stretched across the chest constructed using a mix of towelling and embroidery. The reverse features appliquéd numbers and delicate branded embroidery, while the arms are decorated with multiple moto influenced patches.
Dating to approximately 2003-2006 this piece reflects the brands rise to popularity in its adoption of the visual language associated with collegiate sportswear and motorsport uniforms. Pepe Jeans was founded in 1973 as a denim stall on Portbello Road, the brand developed from an independent British Label into an international brand.
This jacket is in good vintage condition, with no noticeable flaws.
