With pride in made-in-Japan quality, we use domestically produced fabrics to create fully made-to-order, original Shizuoka-style jeans based on our own patterns. Design work is handled by Takuto Mochizuki, who has experience working as a custom designer for overseas brands and currently runs the jean repair and customization workshop Atelier Kizuna at the foot of Mt. Fuji. All production processes from sewing to treatments are carried out by hand at a factory in Okayama carefully selected by Mr. Mochizuki himself. Scoria from Mt. Fuji is used along with other rocks to stone wash the finished denim fabric for a bold yet exquisite finish.
A tapered silhouette that gets narrower towards the bottom from a regular straight-type base. We were able to achieve a contemporary look to the footing while retaining a vintage style by slightly cutting back on the rise from the crotch up to the waist. A subtle outline of Fujiyama is placed over the coin pocket and back pocket. This pair of jeans matches perfectly with a wide range of t-shirts and jackets.
13.5 oz. of Okayama selvedge denim is the material used. All production, from sewing, treatment, label weaving and patching is carried out at the finest factories in Japan, approved by designer Mr. Mochizuki down to the finest detail. This is the first time scoria from Mt. Fuji has been used to treat denim with the stone washing treatment. The perfect mixture for this process was arrived at through countless tests. Only available in limited quantities, this original series of jeans is the culmination of the outstanding techniques of various craftsmen.
Finished jeans are subjected to test stone washing using Mt. Fuji scoria in order to achieve an optimal balance before moving on to full stone washing. The use of sharp, natural rocks from the foot of Mt. Fuji during this process means that abrasion is slightly more severe than with usual stone washing, achieving a rough texture combined with a soft feel on the skin. The unique indigo blue of selvage denim that stands out faintly against the whiskering, the color fading around the waist area, and other such details are the work of masterful artisans in Okayama. Users can enjoy a vintage denim feel as well as moderate color fading from the day they start wearing the jeans.
