Pure Blue Japan x Rivet & Hide XX-013-IS Indigo/Sumi Ink Jeans - Slim Tapered

In stock

These new Pure Blue Japan x Rivet & Hide jeans riff on the brand's flagship 14oz denim with an indigo dyed warp and a sumi ink-dyed weft.
 
Our collaboration jeans are unsanforized but have been naturally one-washed and hang-dried. This removes the bulk of the shrinkage for easy sizing and gives the denim a softer initial hand. In the last few images see how this unique denim ages after 3 months wear and several washes.

Sumi ink is traditionally used in Japanese calligraphy. It comes in solid blocks and is the end result of a time-honoured, time-intensive process of mixing soot, animal fats, and perfumes. When added to a pair of Pure Blue Japan jeans, sumi ink elevates what is already one of the nicest denims around. Its deep, saturated tones highlight the denim's unique low-tension texture and will fade in new and beautiful ways.  
 
Pure Blue Japan's 013 fit provides a snug thigh with a subtle taper for an overall slim cut.
