An overhaul of one our most iconic fabrics, the Sapphire Slub denim that put us on the map back in 2017 when we first collaborated with Japan Blue. The new & improved “Shinkai Slub” series celebrates this journey in the name. “Shinkai” (or 新開発) combines the words Shin and Kaizen in Japanese, meaning New Development. Composed of #5 warp/weft yarns and clocking in at 18oz., this proprietary sanforized Selvedge fabric checks all the boxes of what we were looking for in a heavyweight slubby denim - and more. Thanks to the unique weave of the denim, the streakiness and color pop is sent into overdrive, making this one of the most striking denim fabrics we have developed. Combining a classic indigo warp with a cobalt blue weft, we decided for this new version to go for just a slightly deeper hue to give the fabric a new identity from its predecessor.

Along with this fresh denim development, we have renewed the construction details which will become a mainstay in this new lineup. Along with the heavyweight Tochigi leather patch and indigo-dyed pocket bags featuring updated logo artwork, we also developed a blue and red rayon tab to represent Japan and Indigo.Selvedge is also featured on the cuffs and locker loop construction, with the addition of our custom made YKK "+" metal rivets as an extra dash of detailing to complete this stellar piece.
