The Best USA Made Denim Brand: Rogue Territory (Sashiko Cruiser Jacket).

[@CarlMurawski]

Hey Michael, loved the video and I hope you feel better. Hopefully that jacket makes it all better!

[@TheIronSnail]

Haha ty Carl!! It always does!

[@jimmydgrant]

I think what sets RGT apart is Carl’s incredible pattern making skill. The jackets are so flattering that you can get away with a slightly loose fit.

[@TheIronSnail]

Yup I agree 200%!

[@richardcard82]

I buy pretty much every item they've released since 2020. My favorite denim company, their Supply Jacket is seen in a lot of Hollywood movies, most recently Project Adam and James Bond No Time To Die, this shashiko jacket is one of kind, sells out in mere seconds. I was lucky enough to buy one

I want one.. so far my favorite jackets are the Bradley Mountain cabin & chore coats, Rogue Territory Shishiko, and of course the Iron Snail line of Denim/Wool. I don't have any yet lol, besides the B. Mountain chore coat.. best fitting jacket I've ever had.

[@Pensées_depuis_mon_balcon]

I love the Silveridge jeans fit they developed with SOP. I have the Silveridge Ecru (White), Cyrpic Stealth (Black) and Green Monster (Blue) and their Indigo Sashiko Jacket - the quality is fantastic, the details are wonderful, and the measurements from the website are spot on.

[@TheIronSnail]

AGREED!

[@northeastwanderer]

I just ordered the RgT Supply Jacket in 15 oz denim. It will be my first piece from RgT so I am a bit nervous about what to expect in terms of fit/quality but after this and a few other videos I feel a lot more excited about it. I’m in between a small and medium (5’9 ~150 lbs) so I sized up to wear a sweater under it. Nice video, bro. Liked and subbed.

[@Pilborg_]

I love learning about new brands from you always. I also love Microphone Michael

[@TheIronSnail]

SHANE SHANE SHANE!

[@mrlolmaster1019]

i think the usual diagonal lines on type 3 helps taper the jacket, cuz the type iii is known for being slimmer than type i and ii known for being very boxy

[@TheIronSnail]

Ahhh gotcha!

[@Greenman247]

So... The Rogue Territory Cruiser Sashiko jacket has gone back up for pre-order, but it's pretty dang pricey. Questions for you, if you gots a minute... Do you still enjoy yours? Is it comfy? Do you wear it often, or is it more like a collection piece for you? I've thinking about one since I saw your video, but if I get one it might have to be the last one in my collection besides my pbj type III 18oz. Appreciate your input!

[@palomaresed]

love all my rogue territory stuff. fits like a dream too

[@deancawley506]

The two lines on Type 3 jackets is sort of an optical illusion, the tapering of the seams and with how a type 3 is constructed with more of a 3D pattern is part of the design to make for a more flattering ‘snug’ fit that aligns to the curves of the body. If you look at how a 60s type 3 is designed, the seams meet towards the waistband, by the 70-80s, the seams went more parallel than tapering/meeting at the waistband, a la modern type 3s, part of that probably has to do with change of styles and addition of hand warmer pockets. A 60s type 3 IMO fits waaay more snug if sized correctly than modern type 3s

[@TheIronSnail]

FASCINATING! (Ty)

[@roberttudisco6530]

Left Field NYC is definitely a great brand you should do a review on! I love there aesthetic and their products. Their shop in Queens is also one of THE coolest places I’ve ever been to. You should totally check it out!

Question; Did you ever end up soaking it warm/hot? Did it shrink? I have this jacket and it fits, like how you said just a tad bit too loose... would be great it it shrank a bit.

[@crossbones8956]

I know nothing about denim, but I absolutely love these videos.

[@TheIronSnail]

TY!

[@windwalkerproductions]

I really hope they do another drop this year, thanks for sharing. Also, if you need video ideas I'd want to see some shishiko pants. Gustin has a heavy 12oz pair for $109 (I actually like their slim fit but decided not to get them). Railcar Fine Goods has a 12 oz pair with a veg tan patch that looks really nice, its $209 (I just ordered the tapered ones but don't have them yet). Rogue territories is $325 and feel like the cut & pockets look weird on the back (or at least that's my opinion from the photos).. Final option are lounge pants like the Apres from Flint & Tinder.. I love mine, super heavy/cozy , they are the only lounge/pajama pants I wear anymore.

[@brunonjezic6208]

Bahahaha and oh yes, that would make fading a breeze

[@brianagee2790]

That white-stitched key-hole, for me, nearly ruins it for me. I know, it's such a small thing but I really resent getting branded and though probably most people that might see me wearing the jacket won't have any idea what it would mean, I would and it would know and it would drive me bananas. I do own one Rogue Territory jacket and it's a denim zip up that closely resembles an L1 leather jacket with it's single breast pocket and discreet side pockets and traditional collar (I know it sounds like I'm describing their usual supply jacket type, but its not) and it's so sweet. Not many retailers aside from Rivet and Hide were seeming to sell it a few years back. It has wool as it's lining and a very nice satin sleeve lining. Feels great to wear and it's nearly perfect aside from only having a small zipper that functions in only a single direction.
