Penney's historic American denim and workwear labels, and surviving mid-century Foremost denim has become increasingly sought after by collectors of vintage American workwear. \u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is made from wonderfully tactile indigo denim that has softened and faded naturally over decades of wear. The colour variation across the body, sleeves, cuffs and seams is exceptional, giving the jacket the kind of depth that only genuinely aged denim develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly important construction detail is the \u003cstrong\u003eselvedge edge visible along the inside front placket\u003c\/strong\u003e. The clean woven edge of the denim can be seen running alongside the snap fastening — a fantastic surviving detail of its period construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jacket features four external pockets: two flap chest pockets and two angled lower hand pockets. Contrasting green reinforcement stitching appears around several stress points and buttonholes, adding an unusual flash of colour against the indigo denim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePenney's Foremost embossed metal snap fasteners run through the front and also appear at the chest pockets and cuffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the collar sits the distinctive \u003cstrong\u003ePenney's Foremost cowboy leather label\u003c\/strong\u003e, complete with the period “Avoid hot iron on this label” wording. A further original cloth production\/lot label survives concealed inside the upper pocket, carrying a faded red numerical code — another lovely piece of the jacket's original manufacturing history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe naturally frayed lower hem, softened pocket edges and beautifully worn cuffs are all part of the jacket's story rather than something we would want to disguise. This is a piece where the wear genuinely makes the garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue 1960s American vintage denim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelvedge denim construction visible inside the front placket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePenney's Foremost cowboy leather label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal internal production\/lot label still present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForemost embossed metal snap hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-pocket workwear construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContrasting green reinforcement stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional naturally developed indigo fading and patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a single pre-owned garment offered for resale as part of our curated collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll vintage items have had a previous life.
