Inspired by a vintage FFA jacket our Product Designer, Nick purchased while back home in Texas, our new Piston Jacket takes on the classic Harrington silhouette, rendered in rich, organic cotton indigo corduroy. This particular iteration was custom embroidered by our friend Sam Hart who got his start managing Taylor Stitch’s San Francisco flagship store on Valencia street in the heart of the Mission. He started Crooked 8 after learning Chainstitch embroidery in Levi’s Tailor Shop which has taken him around the World for events with some of the best creatives in the industry.
There’s not a lot of organic cotton corduroy floating around, and we’d never seen anyone make a jacket like this out of it. Most corduroy you have to be pretty gentle with (and typically dry clean), but this jacket can take a beating without matting out. Similar to a great pair of jeans, the Piston's rich indigo coloring will fade beatifuly with each wear, meaning that each jacket will become distinctive to its owner. Next time someone asks what you do or where you've been, just point to your Piston and let the jacket tell the tale.
