When it comes to maintenance, simply wash the jacket in cold water and tumble dry on a low setting to preserve the rich, bleach-washed character of the organic cotton.

Answering Your Questions: Everything You Need to Know

To help you choose the best fit and understand the finer details of this vintage-inspired work jacket, we have answered the most common questions from our community.

Is The Roper Jacket stiff like raw denim jackets?

Not at all. While it is made from heavy-duty 14 oz organic cotton selvedge denim, the specialized bleach-wash treatment removes the initial stiffness. This process gives it a soft, worn-in, broken-in feel right from the first wear.

What does “unlined” mean for the warmth of this jacket?

Unlined means there is no extra blanket or quilted fabric layer on the inside. This makes the jacket highly breathable and an excellent choice for year-round layering over hoodies, sweaters, or simple t-shirts depending on the weather.

How does the YKK two-way separating zipper work?

The two-way zipper features two distinct slides on the track. This allows you to unzip the jacket from the top down as usual, or unzip it from the bottom up to allow more room at the waist when sitting down or driving.

Are the distressed marks at the hem and cuffs a defect?

No, the subtle distressing at the hem and sleeve cuffs is a deliberate design feature. It is part of the custom bleach-wash process intended to give the jacket its authentic, vintage thrift-store character.
