Frank & Eileen Bantry Denim Barn Jacket in 1978 Wash
Bantry Denim Barn Jacket in 1978 Wash
Bantry is Frank & Eileen's first heritage denim barn jacket, drawn from vintage workwear and finished with classic denim hardware and heritage-inspired stitching. A notched lapel collar frames the button front, roomy patch pockets sit at the waist, and a slim pen pocket is set at the chest. The California Vintage Denim has a substantial weight yet feels soft and already broken in, holding its shape without stiffness or bulk and moulding to the body over time. The 1978 Wash, a medium blue, is stone-washed in small batches so each jacket carries its own character. Unlined and relaxed, with a slightly dropped shoulder, it leaves room for layering without appearing oversized. Available online with shipping throughout Australia and internationally, and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
Worn open over the Quinn Long-Sleeve Tee in White with the Bray Barrel Pant in White, the jacket brings a relaxed heritage note to weekend dressing, and over a fine knit it becomes an easy outer layer for an evening drink in town. Because it packs down without the bulk of a heavier denim jacket and suits so many outfits, it is a natural companion for travel.

What is California Vintage Denim?
California Vintage Denim is Frank & Eileen's slightly structured cotton denim, with 1% elastane for ease of movement and a lived-in character from the outset.

Slightly. The indigo denim is stone-washed in small batches, so each jacket has its own pattern of fading, which continues to develop as it is worn and washed.
