Pure Blue Japan’s signature 14oz selvedge denim is woven in Okayama using old school, low-tension looms. It's a time consuming, labour intensive process that requires an expert touch. But the result is a beautiful denim with a pronounced, slubby texture and a light hairiness. It’s little surprise that this has become one of Pure Blue most popular fabrics over the years. The slim tapered fit on the Pure Blue Japan XX-013 provides a snug thigh with a subtle taper.
