Pure Blue Japan is already renowned for its signature 14oz slubby denim. Here, they’ve cranked up the weight and texture to produce a 16.5oz slub cotton selvedge. The denim has a rich, uneven surface that will yield incredible fades over time. Pure Blue Japan’s shuttle looms must be specially calibrated to produce this fabric’s desired surface texture. 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 when it does. Pure Blue Japan’s “013” is a relaxed tapered fit - more room up top with a pronounced taper from the knee down.

Carlo wears a size 32 jean. He is 185cm tall and weighs 78kg / 6ft 1" and 172 lbs.
