The Railcar Type 1 jacket pays homage to the original heritage design with the single mid chest pocket, back lower body cinch straps and front pleats, but features several modern updates. Our version includes practical additions like hand warmer pockets and two large interior storage pockets, as well as a more streamlined, contemporary fit. Additionally, we've refined numerous details, such as the front acorn pocket, pocket flap, and interior shell edging - all meticulously executed using a vintage commercial sewing machine to preserve an authentic, heritage-inspired aesthetic.
