Years in the making, after the factory responsible for weaving our OD+JB Slub Series shut down during COVID, we’ve been on a quest to redefine and redevelop what we’ve built with the JB team to date. 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.

Along with this fresh denim development, we have renewed the construction details which will become a mainstay in our 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 the Japanese “Rising Sun” Flag and Indigo Blue. Cut in Japan Blue's High Tapered silhouette, the jeans feature ample room in the rises and thigh area, along with an aggressive taper from the knee down to deliver a flattering aesthetic.
