Broken In Billie Jacket

The Billie is a chore coat for kids who don't sit still. Cut from 100% post-consumer denim — rescued fabric that's already been broken in by whoever wore it first. Boxy hip-length cut, varsity-inspired contrast sleeves and collar, two deep patch pockets, and wood buttons. Because no two pieces of reclaimed denim are exactly alike, your Billie will be slightly different from the one in these photos. That's not a flaw. It's the whole point.

Why you'll love this:

  • 100% post-consumer denim — rescued fabric, pre-softened by previous wear
  • Boxy hip-length cut with room to layer underneath
  • Varsity-inspired contrast sleeves and collar
  • Two deep patch pockets — actually functional
  • Unisex cut — runs true to size with room in the arms to grow
  • No two pieces exactly alike — variation in fade and texture is intentional
  • Ethically made in India — built to be handed down, not thrown away
  • TradeUP eligible when they outgrow it

Broken In is built from fabric that already existed — and constructed to the same standard as everything Jackalo makes.

  • 100% post-consumer cotton denim, rescued from donated clothing the resale system couldn't place
  • Pants pocket linings cut from post-consumer shirting — also rescued
  • Pre-softened by previous wear: noticeably softer than new fabric from the start
  • Slight variation in fade and texture between pieces — an inherent quality of reclaimed material
  • Reinforced construction at the points that take the most abuse
  • Built to be worn hard and handed down

Broken In is our most sustainable collection yet. We often say the most sustainable item is the one that already exists. This is our effort to make something wonderful, with what would have been waste.

Our guarantee: If your Jackalo item rips within 6 months of purchase we will repair them free of charge.



Up to 98% less water

Making new denim is extraordinarily water-intensive. Starting from fabric that already exists skips almost all of it.

Up to 68% less electricity

The energy required to grow, gin, spin, weave, and finish new cotton fabric adds up fast. Post-consumer denim sidesteps most of that process entirely.

Up to 80% lower carbon impact

From fiber to finished garment, the carbon footprint of post-consumer denim is a fraction of what it takes to make something new from scratch.
