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

[@lawrenceh7182]

Once again Michael you’ve knocked its out the park, and what a fine park it is too! I love RGT. I shop in London at the store where the Bond set dressers spotted the brand, stuck Daniel Craig in one and now the brand has gone stratospheric.

[@crucialstogie]

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.

[@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.

[@brunonjezic6208]

I think this is the jacket that fits you the best from all the jackets you have. Though it depands what you want

[@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]

[@daynesaminathanpillay4028]

What an intro brother... Just utterly brilliant I tell you ... brilliant 👏 😢

[@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

If this video was a flavor. It would taste like Michael with a hint of Michael and the after taste and mouth feel of dry autumn leaves. Also - I’m glad you acknowledged the giant fuzzy caterpillar you were holding it was starting to feel like when someone has something on their nose and you don’t want to tell them and suddenly you go for it and the music in the background suddenly stops so you yell “you have something on your nose!” - no guilt though someone has to do it and today you were that guy.

[@b2me745]

Where did you get your key ring? I need one of those. Great channel! Thanks

[@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.

[@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!
