DEPTCOR Clothing Industries Denim Work Jacket (Department of Corrections, Late 1990s–Early 2000s)

An authentic DEPTCOR (Department of Corrections) work jacket produced under the Bureau of State Use Industries, part of the U.S. prison labor manufacturing system. These garments were made by inmates for state and institutional use — representing a raw and utilitarian aesthetic that has since influenced both workwear and street culture.

Constructed from light to mid-weight denim with a smooth quilted lining, this jacket balances toughness with comfort. The cut is long and boxy, featuring large front patch pockets, buttons, and minimalist detailing — all hallmarks of genuine correctional issue clothing.

Its silhouette and understated design evoke the stark industrial style later embraced by 1990s hip-hop and streetwear, blurring the line between institutional uniform and cultural fashion.

Perfect oversized fit for a 180cm / 73kg frame — relaxed yet structured.
