This archive workwear jacket by Dirk Bikkembergs originates from the brand’s earlier period and is crafted from 100% cotton. The piece features a slightly cropped, boxy silhouette and fits more like a modern medium despite being tagged size 50. Executed in washed black, the fabric shows a natural, uneven fade developed over time, giving the jacket a distinct patina and depth of tone.
The design is defined by layered asymmetry at the front, with two overlapping zipper constructions — one positioned slightly off-center above the other. Two standard front pockets maintain the utilitarian base, while asymmetrically placed cotton felt reinforcements along the sleeves introduce subtle structural detailing. Additional snap-button patches reinforce the workwear reference and add textural variation.
The jacket shows visible aging consistent with its age, including soft fading, slight fraying at the sleeve hems and waistband, and open seam edges that contribute to its character. Overall, it remains structurally sound and beautifully aged, with wear that enhances rather than detracts from the piece.
