Denim Barn Jacket 1978 Wash

The Bantry is Frank & Eileen's first barn jacket, built from California Vintage Denim in the 1978 Wash: stone-washed in small batches so every piece develops its own character, with heritage-inspired stitching, classic denim hardware, and a pen pocket at the chest that signals how thoughtfully it was designed. Cut with just enough room to layer a knit or a button-up underneath, it's the kind of denim jacket that gets better every time you reach for it.

ABOUT FRANK & EILEEN

Frank & Eileen has expanded from its founding obsession with the perfect button-up shirt into a complete California-rooted wardrobe, with each new category from denim and knitwear to outerwear held to the same standard: exceptional material, ethical production, and a design made to outlast the season it launches in. A Certified B Corp and 100% woman-owned company, every piece is produced with artisan partners the brand has built longstanding relationships with, and the California Vintage Denim line represents the brand at its most local, woven in Turkey and hand-finished entirely in California. The result is a collection that wears like a piece of the state itself, lived-in and improving with time.
