Pure Blue Japan’s TCD series combines a brown-core warp that’s been overdyed black with a black sulphur-dyed weft. The result is a black denim that will produce earthy notes of muted tobacco brown as it fades. It’s a beautiful process more commonly seen in leather jackets, but Pure Blue Japan have worked their magic to create a denim with the same ageing properties. 

Much like Pure Blue Japan’s flagship XX denim, this 14oz selvedge is woven on vintage shuttle looms using proprietary slub yarns of differing thicknesses. It has a pronounced weave that will only grow in character as denim and dye part ways. This denim is cotton soft from the jump off and will not shrink thanks to an in-house one-wash.

The 019 fit is Pure Blue Japan’s Relaxed Tapered cut. Expect a mid-to-high rise, a roomy thigh, and a strong taper to a narrow leg opening.

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

Important: The best way to determine the size you need is to measure a similar item you already own and compare with the actual sizing as per the table below. Do not go by tagsize alone. Unsanforized but one washed to remove shrinkage.
