Is this a NEW CLASSIC in the world of DENIM JACKETS?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Benzak Denim Developers have just dropped their take on the classic Trucker. It takes design cues from the archetypes from both Lee and Levi's. But it achieves something else. There is enough brand DNA in there that it is a "Benzak jacket". You can trace its ancestor. But it is an individual unto itself.

Thank you for great review! Great Jacket! How often have you weared it for breaking?
Been wearing another benzak jacket more. I wear that about 2 or 3 times a week. And wash regularly.
RGT went totally in an inovating direction with the Supply Denim Jacket and it's awesome imho
That is true actually. It’s a proper classic. Tellason workers jacket is also a modern classic.
I do have RTG, Tellason and three IH jackets, I also collect vintage jackets, trust me I just received this jacket it’s so perfect I could not believe it.
@@R2D2-V2D2 awesome!
Beautiful, unique jacket. Only downside to these designer demin companies like Benzk is the $$$ - especially considering Levi's classic truckers per se can be had for a fraction of the cost.
I have a great Belstaff corduroy jacket that is a cross between a trucker and chore jacket that also has a collar like a sport coat.. like Barbours Lutz jacket but more boxy and in corduroy that gives it a very casual elegance..
And a waxed cotton 6oz that has trucker/chore/motorcycle jacket style with two big chest pockets, black micro corduroy collar and cuffs in denim blue by Barbour International, summer baffins.. It’s just too big because they described it very wrong on their website..
The waxed jacket is also another iconic staple that is work/lifestyle gear that is also very fashionable..
I have to replace the Lucky Brand denim jacket I sold because it looked great but was too tight in small but medium in their brand is too big, sleeves are also too long.. Small is still 26”.. What is the best jacket for my build? It’s frustrating because I see so many on EBay..Lee rider is my favorite vintage but I’m not sure if the fit is correct.. But the modern selvedge rider is fantastic..and only $300🫤yikes!! I’m a frugal artist so I’ll have to find a bargain..✌🏼
I just received this jacket it’s so perfect only thing it took me one month to decide as measurements listed on the site is totally off but somehow your video inspired me, thanks
Where did your glasses frame.. very nice.. sick of everyone with the heavy black frames
They are Ace and Tate. Great frames.
@@CeeAreDee thank you stud... I love em..
Actually it also has cues from the Wrangler pockets that are bigger more rounded as well.. I think GStar, Lucky, Diesel, Levis Engineered denim, and a few Japanese companies have some new takes on the “trucker” or just new styles of denim jackets in different lengths, fits, colors and types of denim and stitching embellishments that are very cool and classic because they still retain the shape..but without being overly trendy.. I can’t stand acid wash, fake aging rips, holes, fraying and the look of bleached spots, or white chalk crap.. I do like the waxed denim, the reversed side denim, and the colors and textures of cross hatching weft, mixing with hemp or even a little stretch and lighter weight raw materials.. I love denim sport coats, western style shirts.. I have one in a fantastic denim but in a traditional western style that is so well tailored by Sandro of Paris.. Another black waxed denim shirt slightly western style with awesome pearly black diamond snaps by Kooples, and my dressy denim by Lanvin en Bleu.. It’s a slightly silky denim so light and fine that looks almost like linen and silk and is so well tailored off the rack.. not really western because there’s no snaps.. regular classy buttons with the top button in french bleu..incredibly the 48 EU size is my exact measurements..and perfect tailoring that feels custom made..20”chest, 17”shoulders, 23”sleeves, 26”length..perfect length for a small untucked fit.. All denim or flannel (another passion is super flannel) shirts should have straighter hems less curved U shapes and lengths 27” and under because most of us don’t tuck casual button down shirts.. and I never wear suits or dress pants..just denim, corduroy, waxed cotton/canvas, leather, flannel, chambray or wool..Anyway thanks for the new stuff ✌🏼🙏
Think you nailed that. I really enjoyed it.
Cheers Paddy. Appreciate it mate.
I really rate my 15oz Ironside jacket from Bravestar. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts if you ever consider buying one. The price point is ridonculous for the level of quality, the construction and the detailing.
Brave star is a brand I want to check out. But getting it over here in Europe is really tricky. High import and the guys don’t seem too keen on helping out with the shipping if there is a problem. It’s like, we’ll send it but if there is an issue then it’s on you. Makes me a bit reluctant.
@@CeeAreDee shipping to UK isn't bad. I've had no problems with about 4 items with customs costs ranging from £0.00 to £30.00. Either way, it's still much more reasonable than a lot of brands out there for selvedge. Not sure how shipping will differ to where you are. You're Germany aren't you homeboy?
I love my Brave Star jackets. You just can’t beat those prices for what you get.
i have a question matt, i have a pair of vintage Levis 501, should I get them tailored?
I'm deciding if I want to keep their original fit or if I want to give them a more modern fit, need advice man, would really appreciate it
I always do that slim the legs, but remember you should only do it from inner side, get your favorite jeans and match it
Never alter those pair of vintage...I mean what's the point of buying it.....You would have got skinny jeans at fast fashion stores!
Maybe do a video on summer fits/clothes, like you did for that Will varmam video you did a few weeks ago
Super good idea. Cheers Devin.
Hi, does this denim shrink after wash, my size denim that is XXL length is 28 inches make no sense bigger size should not mean longer length, correct? Also if this denim stretches a bit I can go with XL any suggestions? Thank you
What jacket are you wearing in the vid? Looks great!
Thanks man. It was these two. benzakdenimdevelopers.com/collections/jackets-shirts/products/bdj-01-cowboy-jacket-11-5-oz-natural-indigo-eco-denim

Love this jacket hard. Wish they made these for the gals.
The small or medium size could work with an oversized look.
Just curious if you would wash your denim shirts frequently?
Really like these Benzak jakcets. Do you have any experience with the BDJ-02 RIDER JACKET
This one right? benzakdenimdevelopers.com/collections/jackets-shirts/products/bdj-02-rider-jacket-special-2-15-oz-vintage-indigo-selvedge?variant=18220983386227
Yeah I know it well. Such a super nice piece. Love that denim too. I’ve got the Sherpa jacket in the same cut, the BDJ 04. And it’s my got to at the moment.
What size did you get this jacket as? I'm not sure if an L or XL would fit me better.
Hey bud. I’m 183 (6ft) and 85 kg. The large fits me perfect
@@CeeAreDee Thanks again mate! Thinking of getting the XL with my 93 kg 😂. Love your videos btw, been binging a lot lately. I've gotten into the denim world properly for over a year now and you taught me a lot about the culture and items. Have a nice one. Keep grinding!
@@truezayn thank man. I really appreciate that.
Did you get one? Curious to know what you think. I’m in love with mine.
Not yet man. I’m trying to decide between the Lee 101 and the Benzak. The reason I’m thinking about Lee as well is because you said the Benzak is on the shorter side. And I dont want it to be too short for my liking. But if you said now that you love yours it couldnt possibly be too short 😂
When I will have the jacket I’ll get back to you
Cheers!
What do you think about the Unbranded 901?
Looks solid. Looks great.
Hi !
Love both of your channel and your Instagram! As a 'streetwear guy' I found the style you're presenting through your media very inspiring.
I saw the price of the jacket you're presenting on this video has dropped to 150 €, and i'm searching for a slimmer denim jacket so i'm interested !
How is yours getting old? Do you have any feedback? I would be very interested !
You mean this one? benzakdenimdevelopers.com/collections/jackets-shirts/products/bdj-05-trucker-jacket-15-5-oz-kojima-selvedge?variant=32196266590323&ktk=UEdKczZRLWQ2Y2ZmMGY2OTg0
Yeah, it's amazing. Quite stiff at first then beds in. Fades are coming out slowly like on all jackets but I think I need to give it a wash soon anyway, this will bring the fades out nicely. Thanks for the kind words.
@@CeeAreDee thank you for your feedback
It isn't available anymore with the japanese denim so I think i will be buying the italian denim version, thanks !
Happy friday my guy!
Was a stressy one but made it through. I’ll with you a happy Sunday!
How big was that benzak box?
Massive. Small house really. 😂
I love them...bat to expensive for a Portuguese retired guy
It’s quite an expensive jacket. You’re right. But you get a lot.
Nice jacket ❤️❤️
It’s lovely, right!
Railcar fine goods, makes a fine denim jacket
I love the chore coat they do. But I feel the denim jackets are a bit too much towards the trying to do something unique thing. It’s all personal taste for sure but they are not so much my thing.
@@CeeAreDee everyone's got their own tastes, that's the beauty of it. Loving the channel bro
@@ThaBKeeper well said mate. Well said.
I bet someone makes a denim t shirt
Never come across a full on denim t but plenty of indigo dyed ts which are a horrible idea. One season when I was working for a trade show, we were sponsored by Momotaro and they gave us a whole load of indigo t shirts for the middle of summer. All our staff were blue in an hour 😂
I wish there was indigo dyed boxer briefs.😉
I only own one denim jacket, and while I love it, i very rarely wear it, can never figure out what to pair it with since I'm rarely out of jeans, and can't bring myself to go double denim!
It's a Tellason Jean jacket, not ever heard of the brand before, but it seems decent, made in the US from now defunct cone mills denim. I snagged the jacket for a silly good price too, talking sub £60!
If I can ever sort out some Chinos or some nice grey/black jeans, I can see myself starting a nice denim jacket collection.
Gray jeans helps make the double denim look work for me.
I just go down the heavy denim shirts, 14oz and up. Use them as an overshirt, it slightly changes the double denim look.
I have more jackets than jeans ... maybe because I buy used jackets, but not used jeans
I think my jeans are edging ahead in numbers right now. Either I need to get rid of more jeans or get more jackets. 🤔
@@CeeAreDee like I said, I don't like to buy used jeans, so I have 4 pairs ( 2x2 of the same ) of jeans but jackets come in more easy ... but I buy them by price and look just, not collecting.
Sadly 90 percent of market is Type 3 rip-off and rest is based on Lee or Wrangler !
Yeah the type 1s and 2s are underrepresented
Jeans pants are kina overrated
NOT FIRST!
Still appreciate it tho.
I like your Jeffrey dahmer glasses 🤓
