TOWN CRAFT A store brand representing JC PENNEY alongside BIC MAC and PAY-DAY, established in 1927. Drawing inspiration from 50s–70s vintage clothing, TOWN CRAFT offers comfortable, well-fitted garments that combine timeless design with modern appeal. Functional Fabric for Long-Lasting Wear The fabric is made from nylon-cotton weather material, a functional fabric that was popular in 70s outdoor scenes. When exposed to moisture, the cotton swells and blocks the weave, enhancing the waterproof effect. The fabric has the right thickness, offering greater comfort than 100% cotton, and is more durable than 100% nylon. The texture becomes richer the more it is worn. By omitting insulation, this design is crafted as a light outer layer perfect for chilly spring or autumn days. The paisley pattern on the lining adds subtle individuality and sophistication, enhancing the overall look even when the jacket is removed. A Legendary Jacket Revived for Today The Derby jacket, originally released in the 1960s, became a favorite in the 80s among skaters, punks, and rockers in the American West Coast hardcore scene. It was cherished as a cool, iconic item. Though the name "Derby" evokes images of riding jackets, it refers to jackets from the "Derby of San Francisco" brand, hence its nickname. Details That Reflect Commitment The neckline features a ribbed collar with a perfect height. The brand tag is a faithful reproduction of the 60s design. The cup-in shoulder pattern, characteristic of the Derby jacket, has been adjusted to create a clean and refined line. The front zipper is made by the American brand IDEAL, with leather zipper pulls and buttons at the top and bottom adding subtle yet striking details. Hand pockets on both sides feature a double construction, allowing for organized storage according to need. The ribbed cuffs feature a unique tapered design, transitioning from a wide to a narrow pitch, meticulously crafted with specialized knitting machines. Modernized Loose Fit Based on the XL size from the original design, sleeve and body lengths have been adjusted to create a balanced boxy silhouette. Its versatility allows for easy pairing with any innerwear, offering a variety of styling options for every occasion.
