In addition to its renowned leather craftsmanship, Y’2 also brings incredible creativity and a deep respect for vintage revival. This indigo-dyed horsehide jacket is inspired by Wrangler’s iconic 24MJZ from the 1960s—and its attention to detail and strong vintage style are truly awe-inspiring. Just admiring its original form makes you long to see how beautifully it will age and fade over time.

The original 24MJZ stood out with its four-pocket front and zipper closure—a design that felt fresh and innovative back in the day. Even in recent years, it’s gained renewed attention, especially after Brad Pitt wore it in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, pushing this vintage denim jacket silhouette back into the spotlight.

Y’2 takes a refined approach in its reinterpretation, keeping key details like the pen slot on the left chest pocket and the dynamic curved seams on the back. Even with the jacket crafted from thick, rugged horsehide, mobility isn’t compromised. One notable difference from the original: on the 24MJZ, the zipper gets partially covered when zipped up, leaving only the zipper pull visible. In Y’2’s leather version, the full metal zipper is left exposed, adding a bold, striking contrast and giving the piece a tougher, more rebellious edge.

Typically, indigo dye is difficult to adhere to leather. However, after years of repeated trials by skilled tanners, Y’2 has successfully perfected the process of bonding indigo dye to leather. The base color of the leather is initially dyed to a shade resembling "natural" white color. As the indigo fades over time, this "natural" base color will gradually emerge, creating an effect similar to the fading of denim. 

This jacket is made from approximately 1.3 mm thich horsehide, treated with a specialized indigo dyeing process. The bond between the leather and the indigo dye is remarkably stable, minimizing the risk of color transfer to other items while offering the ability of aging and fading with wear. 

The interior is made of a blend of 80% cotton and 20% linen for enhanced comfort, while the sleeves are lined with durable nylon fabric for ease of wear. Brass buttons adorned with a laurel wreath motif are used on the front placket and cuffs, adding a vintage touch to the jacket.
