Dawson Denim | British Jeans and Workwear from Japanese Selvedge Denim

We drew inspiration for this jacket from the classic period of US coverall design from the 1930s to the 1950s. We kept the silhouette of our classic Sack Jacket, but we developed the fit by following key features of period-correct pattern cutting. We also moved the shoulder and side seams backwards to capture the key features of oversized lined lower pockets from this golden era. The jacket includes a flapped brass press stud top pocket, a multi-opening top pocket with a lining and pen holder, and a secret internal pocket.

How we make

At Dawson Denim quality is paramount. We believe the devil is in the detail, which starts with the fabric. We use Japanese selvedge denim, woven and dyed in Okayama, Japan. We have personally sourced a selection of mills specifically for their rare qualities.

Experience

Amazing brand! Discovered these guys about 2 years ago. I’m a complete denim head and thought I had it sewn up (pardon the pun) with my suppliers at the time, but these guys are something else. Everything is hand made in their shop, and the detail and quality of product is insane. If you are serious about your denim you have to check these guys out.

As someone who has worked in the denim industry for nearly 10 years, I can say that Dawson Denim are some of the best jeans in the world. Miles above anything else being produced in the UK, and offering sublime customer service that means you always leave with the right product - a pair of jeans (or lots of other garb) for life.

Worth the extra money and then some.

There are very few things that we buy in life that get better with use and provide us that deep kind of satisfaction---and every thing that Dawson Denim makes is like that. Shall we add the really lovely people who care and will do all they can to see you satisfied? One can find less expensive things, but what Dawson makes will out last them all and demonstrate what "worth it" really means.

Brought a nice chambray shirt a little while ago, with an unfinished seam that unravelled after a few months.
The company responded promptly (I hadn’t realised that there was a free repair service), and it’s now as good as new.
Great product and excellent customer service. Thank you.
