FOB Factory F153 Tapered 14.75oz Selvedge Denim Jean
Crafted from American Supima cotton, known for its extra-long and durable fibers, this denim is woven at the renowned Nihon Menpu mill in Ibara on a vintage RIKI-SHOKKI shuttle loom. Supima cotton is 40% stronger than regular cotton and absorbs indigo effectively. The denim undergoes rope dyeing eight times, resulting in a deep, uniform color that fades gradually. Weighing 14.75 oz, it's ideal for year-round wear. Key features include a vegetable-tanned deerskin patch, steel buttons, copper rivets, and chain-stitch seams made on the Union Special 43200G. The high-waisted, tapered fit provides comfort with a subtle taper from knee to hem.
