Pure Blue Japan is the uncontested master of both traditional and modern indigo dyeing. The 019-GRE stands in green-and-indigo testament to that fact.
This proprietary denim has a subtle green-tinted cast and a beautifully textured, neppy finish. The warp is indigo dyed with added helpings of green sulphur dye, producing a distinct indigo-on-green hue that will evolve and brighten with wear. These jeans are a loving throwback to the selvedge fabrics of the ’70s, and they’re bound to age with a vintage-tinged, dusty green charm.
As per Pure Blue Japan’s modus operandi, these 019-GRE 14oz jeans are woven on vintage shuttle looms and feature chain-stitched hems, roped belt loops, and riveted back pockets for longevity and historical accuracy. The veg-tanned sheepskin patch will age to a rich patina, while the copper rivets and silver-coated buttons will develop their own character over time.
Available here in Pure Blue Japan’s “019” fit — a relaxed tapered style with a mid-to-high rise. Clean and refined, the fit offers room in the thigh with a gentle taper from the knee down.
