JEANS

Crafted from 15.0oz denim and dyed with natural indigo, these jeans boast a timeless charm with a modern twist. The use of natural indigo imbues them with a unique, soft three-dimensional texture, accentuated by the uneven nature of the dye. Notably, the rich warmth characteristic of natural indigo elevates their appeal.

Despite being dyed with natural indigo, these jeans undergo a medium-white rope dyeing process, which imparts a classic aesthetic while allowing for distinct fading patterns. This combination offers a balance between the traditional allure of natural indigo and the clear contrast of fading.

Featuring a relaxed tapered silhouette (108 type), these jeans offer both comfort and style, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

These jeans are crafted from denim woven on Japan's inaugural power loom, the G3, revered as a legendary artifact. The G3 denim employs a technique known as the "darashi weave," characterized by the deliberate relaxation of warp thread tension. This deliberate irregularity and coarseness, unattainable with contemporary machinery, are achieved through meticulous manual adjustments by seasoned craftsmen. Such denim embodies the rugged and weathered aesthetic reminiscent of vintage workwear, a testament to the expertise accumulated over years of denim craftsmanship. Specifications include a Regular Straight silhouette (101 type) and a weight of 14 ounces.

These are 15.0oz selvedge jeans featuring "Ai Shibu dyed" treatment. Ai-shibu dyeing is an intricate and time-intensive technique, involving initial dyeing with real indigo to achieve a vibrant blue hue, followed by layering with persimmon tannin. The indigo dyeing results in a deeper color compared to regular methods, with the persimmon tannin intensifying in hue with use, thanks to tannin's property of undergoing condensation polymerization over time.

Persimmon juice, also recognized for its high antibacterial and deodorizing properties, has been historically used in Chinese herbal medicine. Japanese culture, with its reverence for the changing seasons and the ephemeral beauty of nature, finds expression in the colors achieved through indigo dyeing. These hues, passed down through generations, are known as "Japanese colors," possessing a profound and captivating allure that resonates deeply with admirers. The silhouette of these jeans is a regular straight fit.

This is STUDIO D'ARTISAN's iconic first model, the pioneering vintage-style selvedge jeans "DO1".

The "DO1" fabric for this project has been meticulously recreated by researching its original material and incorporating a 6th thread to replicate the twist count and the distinctive uneven texture from spinning.

Employing the traditional "Kasezome" dyeing technique of Tokushima Tatemasa Ai, great attention has been given to the meticulous process of "dyeing and drying, dyeing and drying" at least 20 times until achieving the rich navy blue hue.

The new "DO1" maintains the stylish thickness inherited from French workwear, utilizing original Tokushima Tatemasa indigo kase-dyed 15oz fabric. It features a regular straight silhouette.

This jeans is part of TCB's collabo with Viktor Fredbäck!
Viktor is a great denim collector who probably owns over 400 pairs of jeans and he teamed up with the brand to make something unique. 

Made with EMOT cotton, a blend of East Memphis, New Orleans, Texas cotton and finished with prima cotton which gives the jacket the brown/cream result we can all witness.

This model/cut has been inspired from a piece which was dig out from the gold mines in the Nevada desert, can you believe it? It was something the workers at the beginning of the 19th century were wearing. This pant was built after a pair of Olympic Brand, which was a sub label of Levi's back in time.

Hailing from Japan, Samurai was founded in Osaka in 1997 by Toru Nogami (Nogami-san), one of the most renowned personas in the denim world. They’re easily among the most notable denim labels in the world. This is the first-ever collaboration we’ve ever done with a fellow denim brand. Being a denim-head in the early 2000s, we just can’t help but be inspired with all the qualities and particularities Samurai have to offer in the denim industry. One way or another, they assisted us in shaping who we are and what we aim for.

Old Blue decided to use Samurai’s original 21 ounces / sq. yard ‘Cho-Kiwami’ heavy-weight selvedge denim. Heavy ounces denim but constructed with extra-long staple cotton composition (40% Pima cotton, 60% Egyptian cotton). The other heavy consideration why we hand-picked the denim fabric is also because we’d combine it with our own signature 21/23 Oz Japanese Heavy-Weight denim (you often hear it referred as the ‘Beast’). We utilized our 21/23 Oz ‘Beast’ denim fabric for the right back pocket and coin pocket part of the denim build. The denim itself was built using Samurai’s signature 710 Cut. A denim pattern that has a nice and clean slim straight fit as its main offering.

This special OBXSAM denim dungaree surely has lots and lots of favorable details that you can expect from both of us. Specially designed (and exclusively made for this article only) arcuate stitch, special collaboration sheepskin leather patch, special OBXSAM inner woven label, specially made denim flasher (with 2 artworks), are just to name a few. We also utilized both of our signature trims & hardwares and combined ‘em shoulder-to-shoulder; the Oldblue’s Black Tab & Samurai’s Indigo Tab, Oldblue’s copper plated Scovill buttons & Samurai’s Gold Pine buttons, and the Oldblue’s copper Scovill rivets & Samurai’s signature copper rivets.

It’d take other multiple paragraphs to describe and list all the specialties on this ‘Kisouma Selvedge’ limited edition denim. All in all, this denim is best described as the result of a joint-work, joint-mind, and joint-effort between two brands which are just so sincerely passionate about quality denim and everything it comes with. It’s no surprise at all when we work together, the output will be something closely correlated with admirable quality jeans, made with flabbergasting selvedge denim fabric, constructed with redoubtable technique and experience, and filled with so many discreet and thoughtful details.

Founded in 1997 in Osaka, Samurai is one of the most appreciated denim labels in the world. The name was inspired by the duel of 1612 between Sasaki Kojiro and Miyamoto Musashi, the two swordsmen were bitter rivals at the time.  The duel began with both men on guard as a show of respect for the other’s skill with their own style and technique. In the end, though, there could be only one winner. Musashi had provoked Kojirō to make the first attack. Miyamoto quickly countered and succeeded in breaking Kojirō’s left ribs and puncturing his lungs, eventually killing him.  With such history behind, Samurai Jeans could never go wrong and built a history of its own in the denim world.

Based on the popular model S710XX 19ozⅡ, using 25oz special selvedge denim [Ushiwakamaru model] "Did not work while having excellent military talent and appearance" Incorporating specifications named after Yoshitsune Ushiwakamaru everywhere I did. The red triple stitches that image the parapet of Gojo Ohashi, the figure that dances like a swallow, and the full moon that floats in the night sky are expressed with Kinari stitches and the golden sunrise button, respectively. In addition, it is a model suitable for limited names such as decorative stitches and paint stitches on the red and white back pockets, which represent "Genpei", which is closely related to Yoshitsune Ushiwakamaru.

Say Hi to one of the rarest denim jeans we ever came across. Hand-dyed with Kakishibu, a natural dye taken from the juice of persimmons fruit. The whole process was guaranteed only for a really small amount of pieces, considering its very hard and unique work.  The fruit contains a strong tannin and it reacts to the sunlight so the color of this jeans changes with time and sun exposure. This traditional method disappeared for a while due to high speed consuming market which took place in the Japanese community as in any other country. Samurai is proud to bring the method back to life considering its very natural and ancestral dye.

This denim is very slubby and irregular made with superior quality. The buttons are covered in gold, the selvedge id is red and silver Lamè. Thick 3mm cowhide leather and a real straight cut makes this pant look even more beautiful.

This fabric is made by three different thickness yarn to have a vintage vertical fading and very unique “structured denim”. Each yarn is very slubby and it gets dipped into the indigo many times using the "rope dying" traditional technique.
Made with mixed Usa and Australian cotton with slightly low-tension weaving, the fabric was then sent out to Italy to get hand sewed by Holy Blue artisans in a small lab in the amazing Venice area.
