2100 KOJIMA DENIM

PRODUCT |

0 STOCK TOKYO 's new project,
With the aim of being loved by generations for 100 years to come, " 2100 Vintage Denim" was created in the denim mecca of Kojima, Okayama Prefecture, facing the Seto Inland Sea . Known as the first place to make Japanese jeans, its craftsmanship and meticulous finishing have earned it high praise around the world, and it has been responsible for sewing for famous brands. Kojima is a very rare region in the denim industry, where all the processes from upstream to downstream are in place. All of the upstream processes, from raw materials (spinning, dyeing, weaving), to midstream (cutting and sewing), and upstream (processing, washing, rubbing), are praised creations, and it can be said that there are very few industries in the prefecture that have all of these processes, both domestically and internationally.
The close proximity of the factory and processing plant enables the production of high-quality, consistent products, and the craftsmen there have inherited their traditional techniques and applied them to the production of jeans.


MATERIAL |

Using an old shuttle machine, we produced a fabric with an overwhelmingly durable thickness of over 16 ounces. On the other hand , we wove it at a low tension at a pace of 5 meters per hour, and furthermore, by mixing high-quality American cotton, Zimbabwean cotton, and Supima, one of the world's three most rare and valuable extra-long staple cottons, the raw cotton is also flexible. For the warp threads, we used indigo-dyed threads with a slight bluish tint, rather than the commonly used dark blue that is close to black, and adjusted them so that the vertical fading appears the more you wear it.

After going through several processes and the hands of many craftsmen, 0 STOCK TOKYO denim is finally complete.
