DIAGO'S DEADSTOCK

Details

• Name: Pure Blue Japan  XX-007
• Weight: 14 oz.
• Denim: Original Japanese slubby texture selvedge denim. The XX-007  fabric is from a series of denim byPure Blue Japan that are all woven using the same single shuttle loom machine which was manipulated and rigged to create a unique loose and uneven weave, and only for use by Pure Blue Japan. The XX-007  is done on one machine which must be shared and divided into small productions of each denim from the series throughout the year. Because of this, the productions are small and infrequent which make these denims much more special and unique. The XX-007 uses genuine indigo dyed warp and weft yarns to create a solid blue indigo jean. The cores of these threads and yarns remain undyed since the indigo does not fully penetrate to the centers. This allows for contrast fading similar to that of traditional blue jeans but with a unique blue overcast (source: blueingreensoho.com).
• Fit: Slim straight
• Length of Wear: 3 years
• Number of washes: Unknown. I imagine there weren’t too many washes because the jeans remain dark in most regions. As you know: with more washes, there will be more overall indigo loss.
