An OD+JB Collaboration | The 18oz. "Shinkai Sapphire Slub" Selvedge Jeans

We can say confidently without a doubt, had we not executed our vision for the Sapphire’s back in 2017, and rolled out our first official proprietary OD+ Selvedge denim collaboration, we wouldn’t be here today still serving the fam. The OD+JB “Sapphire Slub” was our arrival moment. We believed so strongly in that denim (then and now!) and it paved the way for us to stay in our own lane and explore colored wefts countless times with many of our OD+ projects to date. The Sapphire’s put us on the map, but it was our crazy ideas with each succeeding collaboration that etched us into Japanese Selvedge denim history. This denim is through and through an OD piece, instantly recognizable with its heavy slub & color pop respectfully. A fabric that fades fast AF, and retains durability and character even after extended wear (might have to repair the crotch blowouts if you’re really getting down in them).

Following up the recent release of our type 3 jacket, we are stoked to announce the release of this fabric in the form of five-pocket jeans. Just like the jacket, we adjusted the Pantone color just a tad for the weft to try something just a touch darker in hue, and we’re so humbled by finally getting to use our proprietary OD+ hardware on the latest collab, which includes four 22mm "OD" embossed metal buttons and a single "+" rivet featured on the fifth coin pocket. Custom pocket bags complete the piece, you’d have to really try to get more hues of indigo in a single garment.
