If there’s one piece missing from our line-up of timeless essentials, it’s a jacket. Not just any jacket. A denim jacket. We’ve taken the iconic staple and reworked it for today: crafted from premium denim and handmade in Portugal, our Denim Jacket fuses the rugged spirit of classic workwear with refined modern craftsmanship. Consider it your next must-have.
While the fashion world busies itself arguing over the latest controversial campaigns from major denim brands, we at SANVT are quietly dropping our newest piece: The Denim Jacket. No hype, no provocation, just pure quality and honest craftsmanship. At SANVT, details aren’t an afterthought, they’re the obsession. Every stitch, every seam is considered to the point of perfection. And when it came to designing our latest addition, that ambition mattered more than ever. After all, we’re talking about a piece of fashion history.
A Brief History of the Denim Jacket
The denim jacket was born in the 1870s when Levi Strauss designed hard-wearing denim for gold prospectors, cowboys, and railroad workers in the US. Cropped for practicality, reinforced with rivets, and built to last, it was tough gear for tough work. By the 1950s, denim had broken out of mines and fields, thanks to Hollywood rebels like James Dean and Marlon Brando. Paired with the iconic blue jeans jeans, the denim jacket became a symbol for freedom, nonconformity, and a rugged, masculine edge. Over the following decades, it was adopted by subcultures of every stripe: painted by hippies, covered in patches and studs by punks and metalheads, and eventually absorbed into the mainstream.
The 1990s saw grunge bands wearing them oversized and worn-in, before the jacket briefly fell from grace in the 2000s (blame that infamous all-denim couple look at the AMAs in 2001). But since the 2010s, the denim jacket has stormed back with authority, cementing itself as a timeless style staple. From workwear to cult icon, it’s become a universal symbol of masculine cool. Which raises the question: what makes a denim jacket timeless, durable, and modern today? With our Denim Jacket, we set out to answer exactly that.

Material
Let’s start with the foundation: the fabric. Our Denim Jacket is cut from a 13 oz premium denim blend, made from 76% regeneratively grown Blue Seed cotton and 24% recycled cotton. Blue Seed cotton offers up to 30% higher tear resistance than conventional cotton, giving the fabric unrivalled durability and longevity, while remaining naturally breathable.
Sustainability
Denim and sustainability don’t often appear in the same sentence. But ours is different. Grown regeneratively, our Blue Seed cotton from Spain uses fewer emissions, protects soil, and boosts biodiversity. Mixed with the recycled cotton which is reclaimed from post-consumer textiles and mechanically processed in Italy, we get a material mix that’s as eco-conscious as it is premium. Add to that fair production in Portugal, handmade in small batches, and you’ve got a denim jacket that truly respects both people and the planet.
Design
And now to the details that separate a good jacket from a great one. The design of our Denim Jacket blends the rugged heritage of workwear with clean, contemporary tailoring. Vertical front seams give the jacket structure and a clean profile, while discreet inner pockets keep your phone and headphones secure on the go. Tonal stitching, a subtle stonewash, and minimal metal trims create a refined, worn-in look with a soft touch. A side-buttoned adjustable waistband ensures a custom fit and layering versatility to trim over a tee, or looser layered over knitwear, making it ideal for transitional seasons. Available in both dark indigo and light blue, you’ve got the perfect shade for every mood.
The Denim Jacket: Conclusion
Our Denim Jacket is more than just another piece of clothing. It’s a statement. A statement of uncompromising quality, meticulous craftsmanship and timeless style that transcends trends. With its smart material mix, fair production, and design that blends rugged workwear with modern finesse, this is an essential built to endure many seasons, and many lifestyles. This is a jacket that doesn’t need to shout for attention. It doesn’t try too hard. It speaks quietly, with confidence and only gets better with time.
