What to know about Double Helix
Polish horsehide, Himeji tanning
Hides are sourced from Poland and tanned by Nitta Tannery in Himeji, then cut and assembled in Japan — the material chain explains the four-figure jacket prices.
Tea-core dye that wears down
Jackets are tea-core dyed, so surface colour rubs back through wear to reveal a lighter under-layer instead of staying uniform.
Vintage American shapes, redrawn
The range works from pre-war US motorcycle and western patterns: asymmetrical D-pocket riders, truckers, quilted vests and western shirts, sold through heritage denim shops.
