We're excited about revealing that we've added Double Helix to the Wardrobe 19 as exclusive retailer in Denmark!
Double Helix is a Japanese heritage brand dedicated to the finest traditions of leather craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from early American workwear and pre-war garments, the brand recreates historically grounded silhouettes with obsessive attention to detail.
Every jacket is handmade in Japan in limited quantities, combining period-correct construction with premium materials. The philosophy is simple: respect the past, refine it with Japanese precision, and build pieces that will last for decades.

The Style – Classic 1920s
The Classic 1920s is a tribute to the early era of leather sports jackets and cossacks — a time when garments were built purely for function, durability, and understated elegance.
The silhouette reflects authentic 1920s proportions: slightly shorter in length, clean front, traditional collar, and a structured, masculine shape. Subtle vintage details give the jacket its character without overwhelming the design. The result is a piece that feels historically accurate yet remarkably wearable in a modern wardrobe.
It carries a refined simplicity — less aggressive than later motorcycle styles, but equally strong in presence. This is heritage at its purest.

The Leather – Seal Brown Horsehide
Crafted in Seal Brown horsehide, this version highlights the depth and richness which is unique to the Nitta hides.
Horsehide is known for its dense fiber structure and natural durability. It starts with a firm, structured feel and gradually softens and molds to the body with wear. The Seal Brown tone adds warmth and dimension, revealing subtle variations in the grain and developing a deep, layered patina over time.
As the jacket ages, high-contact areas gain character while maintaining the integrity and strength that horsehide is prized for. The color deepens, the grain becomes more pronounced, and the jacket transforms into something uniquely yours.
