NOTE: This item is made from unsanforized denim, but the garment has been pre-washed at the factory to remove all shrinkage. Due to this process, a natural leg twist may occur. This subtle vintage characteristic is part of the product and should not be considered a defect. See last pictures for an example of this twist.

Fit
B-02 REGULAR STRAIGHT is a regular fitting jean with a classic high rise and straight legs. It’s inspired by a 1940s straight-cut silhouette, with some adjustments enhancing the fit for modern day requirements, such as a shaped top block. This elevates the comfort level of B-02 REGULAR STRAIGHT, as it allows for plenty of room for movement, while ensuring a great fit.
B-02 REGULAR STRAIGHT is the European equivalent of the ‘made in Japan’ BDD-707 (with some differences).
Fabric
14 oz. forties era selvedge is a type of denim with a lot of character and interesting detailing. It has been replicated from vintage denim from 1940s, both in terms of indigo shade and construction. Denim from that period was mostly unsanforized -- and so is our version. The tricky part of unsanforized denim is that it may shrink up to 10% after the first wash. Therefore, we’ve already pre-washed the garments in the factory and adjusted the pattern to end up with the correct measurements after this first wash. This means that you can buy your own size and don’t have to worry about the shrinkage. In its unwashed state, the fabric weighs approximately 12 oz. per square yard. However, after washing, the shrinkage causes the weight to increase to 14 oz. per square yard as the fibers contract and draw closer together. This results in more yarn being packed into the same square yard, giving the fabric a stiff feel, despite it being already washed. Our 14 oz. forties era selvedge has been woven by Collect Mills in Japan.
