Description
This vintage Y2K Emergency Exit denim jacket features a dark wash with contrast tan double-stitching. It uniquely utilizes a full zip-front closure instead of traditional buttons, flanked by two button-flap chest pockets. The interior is lined with a soft faux-fur pile, making it a warmer alternative to a standard trucker jacket. The spandex blend provides a comfortable, form-fitting stretch.

Original woven brand label with 'Emergency Exit' logo and trademark symbol; fabric care tag matches construction; consistent stitching quality. High confidence in authenticity.

Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Depop or Poshmark are the primary recommendations due to the younger demographic seeking Y2K styles. eBay is a secondary option for collectors of specific vintage brands.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Y2K', 'Cyber', 'Grunge', and 'Faux Fur Lined' in the title. Take a clear photo of the interior lining to highlight the warmth factor. Ensure measurements for 'pit to pit' and length are included since denim with spandex can have varying fits.
