Scalpmaster Crinkle Nylon Barber Jacket
The Scalpmaster Crinkle Nylon Barber Jacket (with Pocket Variations) is a timeless, lightweight uniform staple found in traditional barbershops and high-volume salons. Known for its utilitarian design, Scalpmaster constructs this jacket to offer an easy, relaxed fit that focuses purely on hair repellency, comfort, and practical tool storage during long shifts.
Material Construction & "Crinkle" Performance
100% Crinkle Nylon: The defining characteristic of this jacket is its textured, pre-crinkled nylon fabric. This specialized weave serves a dual purpose: it completely hides small creases and wrinkles (eliminating the need for ironing), and it gives the jacket a slightly matte, structured look that doesn't cling to body contours.
Superior Hair-Shedding Finish: Nylon is highly favored behind the chair for its anti-static properties. Sharp hair splinters, fine neck dust, and beard clippings slide right off the smooth fabric surface rather than embedding into the weave, keeping the barber itch-free.
Lightweight Ventilation: The fabric is exceptionally thin and breathable, allowing for optimal airflow to keep the barber cool under intense station ring lights and the continuous heat of blow dryers.
Design, Cut & Closure
Traditional Symmetrical Silhouette: Built with a classic, roomy cut designed to be worn comfortably over a t-shirt or collared shirt.
Centered Zipper Closure: Features a durable, smooth-gliding center front zipper for effortless, fast transitions when taking the jacket on or off between shifts.
Short Set-In Sleeves: Engineered with standard short sleeves that rest comfortably above the elbow. This ensures a completely unrestricted range of motion for clipper-over-comb work, texturizing, and fading without the fabric getting in the way of the client's face.
Pocket Configurations (2 vs. 3 Pocket Variants)
Depending on the specific model run or style number selected, Scalpmaster offers this jacket in two distinct utility layouts to match your workflow:
The 2-Pocket Variant
Layout: Features two deep, symmetrical waist pockets at the bottom.
Utility: Optimized for barbers who prefer a completely clean, flat chest profile. The lower pockets are deep enough to hold bulkier everyday accessories like extra combs, clipper guards, neck strips, or a smartphone.
The 3-Pocket Variant
Layout: Features the two lower waist pockets plus an additional dedicated chest pocket on the left side.
Utility: Ideal for technical tool organization. The top chest pocket is perfectly positioned to give you instant, blind access to small, high-frequency items like sectioning clips, styling pens, or a slender pocket comb, keeping them completely separate from your larger waist cargo.
Design Note: To prevent the frustration of hair accumulation, the pockets on both variants are stitched flush against the jacket torso with flat openings, minimizing the chances of stray clippings drifting inside.
Care & Maintenance
Built to survive continuous commercial laundering and fast-paced station rotations:
Washing: Machine wash cold with like colors on a regular or gentle cycle.
Drying: Tumble dry on a low-heat setting or hang to air dry (the technical nylon fibers shed water and dry incredibly fast).
Durability: Naturally resists stains, water overspray, and color fading. Avoid chlorine bleach to preserve the structural strength of the nylon fibers over time.
