Short length type 2 raw denim jacket brands?

I want to find a boxy, short length type 2 jacket. I've already checked several brands, and I think Freewheelers, The Real McCoys, Mister Freedom (blouse not really a type 2), and possibly Warehouse Co offer that. Even though Sugar Cane was recommended, I checked the measurements and it's too long. What other brands should I look into? Thanks!

You seem to have a pretty exact length in mind. How long do you want it to be?

This one is around 1.5" shorter than the sugar cane one - https://redcastheritage.com/products/the-strike-gold-sgj50s-15oz-slub-grey-weft-type-ii-denim-jacket

is that short enough or still too long?

HHolfram You seem to have a pretty exact length in mind. How long do you want it to be?

My ideal length for neck seam to bottom seam for a 42 is around 55 cm. For back seam to bottom seam that would be 60cm. I could go maybe just a couple more cm extra.

I don't think I've seen any type 2's that are cropped that much unfortunately

Have you checked the Chinese manufacturers on Olderbest?

Be wary that type 2 jackets generally are just a touch longer than other truckers.

Oh I thought the originals were supposed to be shorter for some reason. So a type 1 is shorter?

Soup•12/3/24, 7:12 PM

Type 1 is the boxiest

When you say boxy, does that mean just wider? Or longer too?

Soup•12/3/24, 7:13 PM

it means wider and more cropped

Shorter yes, but generally longer than a type 3 or 1 would have been in the same “era”

Holfram•12/3/24, 7:13 PM

At least that’s how I remember it, like 80% sure about this

Interesting that it doesn’t have a back width adjustment strap buckle

andrewOP•12/3/24, 7:15 PM

Ok ill do some research into type 1s

Aandrew Interesting that it doesn’t have a back width adjustment strap buckle

Soup•12/3/24, 7:15 PM

just the first example I saw that was closest to the back length you wanted

andrewOP•12/3/24, 7:15 PM

Gotcha ok thanks

You could reach out to RFG and see if they can modify the jacket to your specifications. Most of their denim product is made to order so it’ll take six weeks but I’m sure they could hear you out considering you know what you want.
