"More Wear, More Wonderful" is the philosophy followed by Omoto Denim, a young Japanese label created by Hiroki Kishimoto, former CEO of Japan Blue Jeans. Surrounding himself with the best Japanese craftsmen, Omoto Denim aims to continue promoting Japanese denim craftsmanship by preserving the skills and traditional techniques that have built its reputation.

The denim used here, a versatile weight of 13.5oz, is made from a blend of American and Zimbabwean cottons. Memphis cotton (65%) is a raw cotton that combines firmness and flexibility while Zimbabwean cotton (35%) offers a good balance between softness and durability. This denim, woven on a low-tension Sakamoto shuttle loom from the 1950s, features a pure indigo rope dye on its warp thread and retains a white weft thread. This combination ensures the typical look and fluffy texture of 1950s jeans as well as a rich and nuanced patina to come.

The 0615 Relax Fit is a comfortable fit with controlled volume, inspired by bespoke trousers and the structure of the human body. Its mid-rise waist, designed to sit just below the navel, is complemented by a wide thigh opening and a subtly tapered leg from the knee to the hem.
