Quick answer
Choose the Type 3s Denim Jacket for a classic denim layer that fades with wear, and the Work Blazer for a relaxed linen blazer that bridges workwear and tailored style.
Key differences at a glance
The Type 3s Denim Jacket is built from 14.5oz double black selvedge denim, designed to fade to grey with heavy wear. It adds hand pockets and a longer body compared to traditional Type III jackets, but omits back seams and waist cinches for a cleaner silhouette.
The Work Blazer is a casual take on a blazer, made from a heavyweight linen twill that is garment-dyed for a soft, lived-in feel. It features a low button stance, wider lapel, and two interior pockets, offering a more relaxed fit than a traditional blazer.
Tradeoffs at a glance
- Fade potential vs. immediate comfort: The denim jacket starts stiff and dark but develops character over time. The linen blazer is soft and comfortable from the start but will not fade.
- Formality level: The Work Blazer is more formal than a denim jacket but less formal than a traditional blazer. The denim jacket is strictly casual.
- Pockets and storage: The denim jacket has hand pockets lined with heavy canvas; the blazer has two interior pockets. Choose based on how you plan to use them (e.g., phone vs. wallet).
