Lot.309 Buckle-Backed Jacket - Damaged Sumi Dyed Black

The Lot.309 Buckle-Backed Jacket is a clean, straightforward design that finds its roots in the Lot.703. Stripped back to essentials, it features just a single patch pocket and pleats stitched flat at the front, giving it a silhouette defined by straight sleeves and squared shoulders. The fabric adds all the character: a slubbed cloth woven from open-end yarns in both warp and weft, a technique that uses air to twist the fibers, producing a firm surface and soft core. Once air-dried, it takes on a naturally wrinkled texture that feels lived-in from the start. Available in small-batch dyed beige and black, each piece carries subtle shade variation, while the Damaged Sumi Dyed Black is garment-dyed in charcoal and distressed with wrinkles and whiskers to echo well-worn vintage. Hardware is true to Taiga’s ethos-- iron buttons and backside parts engraved and left raw in beige and black to patinate with age, or given a smoky metallic finish on the distressed sumi model for instant vintage feel. It’s a piece that balances austerity in cut with richness in texture and detail.
