Fabriqué à la main au Japon

Notre denim est tissé à Kojima, la capitale japonaise du denim, par des maîtres artisans forts de plus d'un demi-siècle d'expérience dans leur domaine. Nos artisans utilisent des métiers à navette traditionnels actionnés à la main pour produire de longues bandes de tissu de qualité. Ces bandes sortent du métier finies avec des bordures étroitement tissées le long de chaque côté, empêchant le denim de s'effilocher, de se défaire et de gondoler. Cette finition au métier à navette confère au denim ce que l'on appelle une finition « selvedge », ou « lisière », largement considérée comme un gage de denim premium fabriqué de manière traditionnelle.

##Un denim tissé sur l'un des plus anciens métiers à tisser du Japon - réservé aux pièces conçues pour durer. Notre coton est sélectionné à la main pour garantir une grande pureté du matériau et un minimum de dommages aux fibres, seules les fibres les plus longues et de la plus haute qualité étant utilisées. Provenant d'Argentine, nous mélangeons du coton américain premium avec des fibres courtes soigneusement sélectionnées et des chutes de coton pour créer un toucher légèrement plus brut et plus organique - un choix délibéré qui renforce le caractère vintage du tissu.

Le fil est teint selon un procédé de teinture à l'indigo pur par cordes, où l'indigo ne pénètre que les couches extérieures de chaque fibre, créant une couleur de surface riche qui s'estompe progressivement pour révéler le cœur non teint en dessous - la marque distinctive d'un vieillissement naturel et authentique à l'indigo.

Tissé sur le métier TOYODA G3 - le plus ancien métier à navette actuellement en activité - ce tissu porte le caractère incomparable du denim japonais vintage. Le tissage haute densité en 7x6 crée un tissu substantiel et durable, tandis que les irrégularités de fil soigneusement développées reproduisent la texture organique que l'on trouve dans le denim patrimonial, donnant au tissu son caractère vintage authentique.

##Qu'est-ce qui les rend si spéciaux ? Un jean conçu pour durer des décennies - parmi les jeans les plus résistants et finalement les plus confortables qui existent. Le denim a été initialement popularisé au début du XXe siècle par des ouvriers américains qui avaient besoin de vêtements résistants capables de supporter les conditions de travail difficiles auxquelles ils étaient confrontés. À mesure que le denim est devenu plus populaire et plus largement produit, le tissu a perdu ses connotations ouvrières. La plupart des marques ont commencé à tisser des tissus denim plus fins en utilisant des machines conçues pour faciliter la production de masse afin de réduire les coûts et d'augmenter les marges bénéficiaires.

Après la confection, notre denim subit un seul lavage à basse température - un choix délibéré pour préserver à la fois la profondeur de la couleur indigo et le toucher naturel du tissu. Contrairement au lavage industriel standard, qui utilise des températures élevées et provoque une perte de couleur significative, ce processus plus doux n'élimine que l'apprêt temporaire d'amidon appliqué pendant le tissage, tout en maintenant le caractère et la couleur nécessaires pour un vieillissement authentique. Le tissu reste fidèle à la taille tout en conservant la légère rigidité et la couleur riche qui permettent le développement au fil du temps de motifs d'usure personnalisés et à fort contraste.

Handcrafted in Japan

Our denim is woven in Kojima, Japan’s denim capital, by master artisans with over half a century's experience in their field. Our craftsmen use traditional hand-powered shuttle looms to produce heavy strips of quality fabric. These strips emerge from the loom finished with tightly woven bands running down each side which prevent the denim from fraying, ravelling and curling. This shuttle-loom finish gives the denim what is known as a 'self-edge', or 'selvedge' finish, widely considered to be a mark of premium denim traditionally made.

Product Material

A denim woven on one of Japan's oldest looms - reserved for pieces built to endure.

Our cotton is hand-selected to ensure high material purity and minimal fibre damage, with only the longest, highest quality fibres used. Sourced from Argentina, we blend premium American cotton with carefully selected short fibres and cotton waste to create a slightly coarser, more organic hand feel - a deliberate choice that enhances the fabric's vintage character.

The yarn is dyed using a pure indigo rope-dyeing process, where the indigo penetrates only the outer layers of each fibre, creating a rich surface colour that gradually fades to reveal the undyed core beneath - the hallmark of authentic, natural indigo ageing.

Woven on the TOYODA G3 loom - the oldest shuttle loom currently in active operation - this fabric carries the unmistakable character of vintage Japanese denim. The high-density 7×6 count weave creates a substantial, durable fabric, while carefully developed yarn irregularities replicate the organic texture found in heritage denim, giving the fabric its authentic vintage character.

Archibald London Entrepreneurs: Archibald London aiming to 'put the nail in the coffin' of luxury retail by A. Lawson (03/05/2017), Evening Standard.

What makes them so special? A pair of jeans made to last for decades - some of the most resistant and eventually comfortable jeans out there.

Denim was originally popularised in the early 20th century by American labourers who required resilient clothing that could withstand the tough working conditions they faced on the job. As denim became more popular and more widely produced, the fabric lost its working connotations. Most brands began weaving thinner denim fabrics using machinery made to facilitate mass production in order to reduce costs and increase profit margins.

After construction, our denim undergoes a single low-temperature wash - a deliberate choice to preserve both the depth of indigo color and the fabric's natural hand feel. Unlike standard industrial washing, which uses high heat and causes significant color loss, this gentler process removes only the temporary starch coating applied during weaving, while maintaining the character and colour needed for authentic fading. The fabric remains true to size yet retains the slight stiffness and rich color that allows for high-contrast, personalized wear patterns to develop over time.
