Fit
B-03 REGULAR TAPERED is a regular fitting jean with a high rise or a dropped crotch (depending on your preferred way of styling), with roomy thighs and tapered legs. It’s constructed with a curved waistband, creating a rounded top block for a comfortable fit that stays in place while avoiding unnecessary sagging. When sized down, it can be worn as a vintage cut with a high rise; but when sized up, it can be worn relaxed on the hips with a dropped crotch. B-03 REGULAR TAPERED is an ideal style for anyone looking for a fit with a bit more room, while maintaining a tapered silhouette down the legs.
B-03 REGULAR TAPERED is the European equivalent of the ‘made in Japan’ BDD-711 (with some differences).
Fabric
The name of 15.5 oz. Kojima selvedge derives from its place of creation, the rural town of Kojima, situated in the Okayama prefecture and known for its blossoming denim industry. It's a traditional red cast Japanese denim woven at a low tension for extra comfort and breathability. This fabric has a high fading potential; over time the denim will mature into a bright blue hue with indigo nuances. The construction is slubby and uneven. This adds a subtle element of depth to the fabric and contributes to the unique evolution of the denim. The fabric was introduced in 2017 as part of our first denim fading contest and was added to the core collection the year after. Woven by Collect Mills, it’s also the first Japanese fabric ever used in our ‘European made’ line. It may be considered as the Japanese counterpart of our 15.5 oz. RCI selvedge, which shows a handful of similarities but also enough differences to co-exist.
