ROCOCO / American Ox Utility Jacket

Elegant yet practical jacket
This urban-like work jacket is made of thick, durable American oxfords, similar to ROCOCO’s standard button-down shirts. By incorporating practical details in an urban design, it is a piece that can be worn casually while still being classy.

This unlined one-piece jacket can be easily worn in a wide range of seasons. It is a utility jacket that can be worn without hesitation and matches a variety of outfits.

An American fit with just the right amount of room
The box silhouette is slightly larger without shaping the body width. It is neither too tight nor too loose, and is inspired by the standard American fit.

This is an exquisite balance that is relaxed and comfortable, but does not look overdone.

Texture that increases with each wash
Thicker than usual, thicker and stiffer oxfords are selected. We use American cotton thick yarn with high strength of single fibers (each fine fiber making up a thread).

This is a “nurturing” oxford that feels rough at first, but after repeated washings, the fit is deepened. The washed and wrinkled feel creates a cozy mature atmosphere.

This fabric is Japan’s proud “Banshuori”
Banshuori is a traditional cotton fabric that has been produced in the Banshu area (Kita-Harima) centered on Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture, for over 200 years. The unique process of dyeing and weaving from the threads is highly regarded for its natural texture, rich colors, and soft touch.

The fabric here is provided by the Japan Blue Group, famous for its jeans.

Good old work detail
A simple three-button design with a mature look, natural lapels and a V-line collar that is not too deep. The buttons are large work-style bodices.

The cuffs have the cutouts seen on old driver jackets, and we recommend rolling them up for a casual look.

Various and Practical Pockets
The inside of the chest pocket has a pen pocket. There are patch pockets on both sides, and the right side has dual pockets that can be used in two ways.

The flap pocket is ideal for storing essentials such as a cell phone or key case without worrying about the contents popping out.
