JAPAN BLUE JEANS / Sashiko Easy Tapered Pants

JAPAN BLUE JEANS
A denim brand with a textile manufacturer in the Kojima area of Okayama Prefecture, boasting a worldwide reputation as a denim production center. Launched in 2011 with the aim of spreading the quality of MADE IN JAPAN DENIM overseas. It offers jeans that combine recognized silhouettes in Europe and the US with Japanese quality to propose a new perspective.

Jacket in the same material is also available.

Lightweight and Soft Sashiko Fabric
The fabric uses the brand’s original 11oz sashiko fabric with a moderate texture. Unlike typical heavy and stiff sashiko fabric, it is light and soft, making it easy to wear daily.

Additionally, it is dyed with the same rope dyeing method as denim, allowing you to enjoy the aging process similar to denim.

Care Instructions
– Color may transfer to other garments during wear.
– May transfer color when wet from rain or sweat, or due to friction.
– While machine washing sashiko fabric is possible, it is recommended to wash this product separately.

What is Sashiko?
A traditional Japanese stitching technique used to reinforce and insulate clothing. In the Tohoku region during the Edo period, cotton threads were used to fill the gaps in hemp fabric to withstand the cold.

During that time in Edo, there were many fires, and sashiko fabric was used as “firefighter clothing” to protect against sparks. Due to its durability and impact resistance, it is also used in judo and kendo uniforms.

Simple Design
The front features a zipper fly and the waist has a drawstring for adjustable fit. With belt loops, you can also use a belt if desired.

Both sides have easy-to-reach slash pockets, and there are single-welt pockets on the hips.

With tucks on the front and ample room around the hips and thighs, it offers a relaxed fit. Tapered for a sleek look without feeling bulky.

Pair it with the matching outerwear made from the same fabric for a stylish coordinated look with a Japanese touch.
