Imogene + Willie and Wrangler have returned to the 11MJZ zip-front denim jacket. The washed version uses 14.5-ounce domestic fabric from Mount Vernon Mills, is made in the United States and is listed by Wrangler at $349.99.
The zipper changes the rhythm from the usual button-front trucker, while action pleats make movement part of the construction. Those details—and the unusually specific fabric, mill and weight—give this model a reason to exist beyond a generic archival collaboration. The wider capsule includes shirts, jeans and graphics; the jacket is the cleaner place to start. Size-level stock and fit still require a live check.
