BILL BARN COAT WYETH TRAIL

Every GINEW story starts somewhere real. This one starts with GINEW co-founder's great-grandfather, known as Chi-ininii, "Big Man" to Ojibwe speakers, and Bill to everyone else. In crafting the Bill Barn Coat, we meticulously recreated a garment inspired by his life. Coats like this were never just clothing to men like Bill. They were tools, worn in machine shops, forests, and fields by relatives who dedicated themselves to the hard labor of providing for their families. Through exploring our Ojibwe and Oneida heritages, we have come to deeply appreciate that history of work and resilience. When you wrap yourself in this coat, you are wrapping yourself in the ways of our ancestors. The shell is 14oz custom-woven Japanese selvedge denim, died in Natural Indigo, and made specifically for GINEW by the artisan mill Nihon Menpu, whose textures and colors we fell for the moment we saw them at our first show in Japan. Every button carries the GINEW leaf, stamped from an actual leaf that fell from the white oak tree Amanda and Erik were married under, on a small farm in the Wisconsin countryside. The lining is 20.8 oz un-napped wool, in the WYETH TRAIL pattern from out friends at Pendleton® GINEW is NATIVE AMERICANA® built to last for generations. WEAR WITH SPIRIT®, friends.
