Specifics of the Japan Blue Prep J6163JZ-ID
Offered for several years and highly appreciated by our customers, the It seems like your message may be incomplete. Could you please provide more details or clarify what you need help with? is made from selvedge denim 13.5 oz woven from cotton sourced from Ivory Coast. This is a superior quality cotton., hand-picked to preserve its intrinsic qualities. Indeed, cleaner than cotton harvested by machines, it undergoes fewer cleaning operations to maintain its purity and natural roughness. If Japan Blue use this cotton, it is particularly to get as close as possible to the origins of denim. Known for its very long fibers, this cotton gives denim a unique texture and allows for, after many wears and washes, a characteristic nuanced patina.
To achieve this result, the jeans were:
- Worn for about 4 years
- Washed 6/7 times
- Repaired in both knees
A few words from Jeremy:
"I bought these jeans at the end of 2017/beginning of 2018! I was charmed by their length.7/8ths that allowed to do away with "pinrolls", those tight cuffs that were very popular at the time.

Same model 7/8 years later (with about 4 years of wear):
Worn intensely for several years, accompanied by more or less spaced washings, one achieves a non-uniform fading on the surface of the denim, with a lot of contrast, thus giving this piece a unique patina. Thus, certain habits are reflected through the more patinated areas:
- The phone in the right pocket
- The knees, often under stress (profession: physiotherapist)

- Train Track : even though it remains discreet here, it is indeed visible. This term refers to the appearance, on the outside of the fabric, of the selvedge edge running along the leg. Repeated friction causes the indigo to fade and reveals what looks like railroad tracks.

- Honeycombs: Very visible on this worn denim, the "honeycombs" are wash marks that form behind the knees when the fabric creases and wears out. These natural patterns resemble honeycomb cells and can sometimes create an almost 3D effect, with shades of indigo ranging from dark to light.
