Pure Blue Japan is renowned for its signature 14oz slubby denim. Here, the brand has dialled up both the weight and the texture, cranking things up to a substantial but comfortable 16.5oz weave. The denim has a rich, coarse surface that will yield all the amazing fades for which the brand is so well known. The shuttle loom is set up specifically to create this uniquely uneven slub. It’s a labour-intensive and time-consuming task, so this denim doesn’t come around quite as often as we’d like. But it’s always worth the wait.
Carlo wears a size 32 jean. He is 185cm tall and weighs 78kg / 6ft 1" and 172 lbs.
