Description
A utilitarian-cool denim jacket cinched with a signature tied waist for an architectural, modern silhouette.
Reimagining the classic trucker jacket through his distinctly modern lens, Phillip Lim delivers a refined take on American workwear with this belted denim layer. The structured button-up front pays homage to traditional denim tailoring, while the removable tie belt introduces a softened, feminine counterpoint — wrapping the waist to create an hourglass-defining shape that elevates this piece far beyond standard casualwear.
Crafted from premium Japanese-inspired cotton denim with a mid-weight hand, the jacket features a classic point collar, dual chest flap pockets, and side welt pockets for functional appeal. The subtle whiskering at the hips and gently faded indigo wash lend authentic, lived-in character, while contrast topstitching reinforces the brand’s commitment to considered construction. The cuffed sleeves and slightly cropped length make it an effortless layering piece across seasons.

Woven from heavyweight cotton denim with a structured yet soft hand, this fabric offers the durability of heritage workwear with the refined drape characteristic of 3.1 Phillip Lim’s tailoring. The mid-indigo wash features subtle fading and whiskering details achieved through artisanal garment-finishing techniques.
Styling
Layer over a crisp white poplin shirt and tailored wide-leg trousers for an elevated office-to-evening look, allowing the tie belt to define the waist. For weekend ease, pair with a slouchy knit tee, straight-leg vintage jeans, and leather Chelsea boots — letting the cropped hem and cinched silhouette anchor the proportions.
