Designer Jacket Appraisal

Red Chapter Distressed Denim Jacket

This is a distressed denim jacket from the brand Red Chapter, recognizable by the fabric tag sewn below the collar on the interior of the garment, which explicitly shows the brand name 'Red Chapter' along with a graphic of two skulls and red embroidered accents. The jacket is a medium to light wash blue denim, exhibiting significant pre-planned distressing throughout, consistent with a 'worn-in' or 'vintage' aesthetic. Visible physical characteristics include ripped and frayed areas, particularly on the shoulders and upper chest, exposing some of the underlying white thread structure. The jacket features standard denim jacket construction with a collared neckline, front button closure (some buttons are visible), and two chest pockets with buttoned flaps. The stitching appears to be a contrasting lighter thread, highlighting the seams and panel construction. The overall condition, besides the intentional distressing, appears good with no significant accidental tears or stains immediately visible. A price tag, primarily red and white with an indicated price of '9.99' (presumably USD), is attached to the brand tag, suggesting this item was recently or is currently for sale, possibly at a discount retailer or thrift store. The style leans towards a rugged, casual, and contemporary fashion, likely aimed at a younger demographic or those who appreciate an edgy aesthetic. The quality of craftsmanship for the distressing seems consistent and intentional, not indicative of actual wear and tear from age, making it an intended design feature rather than a condition issue.
