Roamer Jacket 1963

Through and through authentic is to call this form of denim jacket, which originally served North American cowboys as a riding jacket. Accordingly, its cut is: short and close to the body. The Pike Brothers have only added two pockets to the historical model - at the request of many customers. The jacket is made of raw denim. This denim is produced on old shuttle looms, which are no longer located in Germany, but are operated by a weaving mill in Turkey. The real selvedges on the inside are evidence of this weaving origin.

The Pike Brothers label from Bad Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria proves with garments inspired by textiles from the world of workwear that form and functionality are not mutually exclusive. While creative minds in other companies have to work out their cuts, the Pike Brothers collect, dissect and finally reconstruct historical originals from a wide variety of workspaces. Different material requirements and cuts are taken into account on a one-for-one basis. Fabrics are reissued in collaboration with traditional weaving mills. Finally, the Pike Brothers have the garments made by hand from selected European tailors. The resulting products tell a story by dint of their appearance. Moreover, they are proving themselves in practice, just like their historical role models did, to be highly functional and to offer the highest comfort – no matter what the activity.

The garment may rub off onto light-coloured materials such as other garments, furniture and upholstery fabrics.
