This heavyweight denim is meticulously woven on a vintage wooden shuttle loom, utilizing a blend of US and Australian cotton. The yarn used is a unique #4.5 x #4.5 original slubby yarn, adding texture and character to the fabric. Only the most skilled and accomplished weaving craftsmen were able to tame the looms that created this durable denim, weighing over 20 ounces. The dedication and expertise of these craftsmen are symbolized by the strands of red and gold lamé, running along the selvedge line of this exceptional 21oz denim masterpiece.
These jeans are full of details, such as the "Syogyomujo 諸行無常" jacquard pocket lining, the iron made rising sun button or the sheep leather patch.
The cut is the S520XX, a relaxed tapered fit. The taper is aggressive so that it gives a slim-fitting silhouette while allowing for a lot of space at the thighs with a high rise.
