1920s jeans are an iconic item for TT. Taiga Takahashi preferred denim from store brands over Levi's, particularly JCPenny, which operated the brand Foremost. In the 1920s, they began making Levi's-inspired jeans, gradually developing original designs. Collecting these jeans, Takahashi's trial and error efforts to differentiate themselves from Levi's can be seen in every detail, and this passion led to the creation of Taiga Takahashi's original denim. This 3/1 left-hand twill, light-ounce denim is made from American organic cotton and woven on an old-fashioned power loom in Okayama. Slowly woven on a shuttle loom, which can only weave at speeds 10 to 20 times slower than modern looms, the denim fabric retains the natural unevenness of the cotton thread, creating a pleasantly uneven texture. The warp thread is indigo mixed with sulfide dyes, resulting in a weathered, green-cast color. The core is dyed white using rope dyeing. The weft is made of a custom-made nep yarn that has been dyed a yellowed off-white that evokes the passage of time. By using these two types of yarn, we have arrived at Taiga Takahashi's unique, rich, deep indigo blue. The fabric is finished with a shrink-resistant process called sanforization.
These jeans are made from "white selvedge" denim, with the white selvedge used in various places, including the back of the belt. These jeans feature a fairly high rise and a wide silhouette that drops straight from the thighs to the hem. The design preserves all the essential details, including the curved front pockets, rivets on the opening, and the buckle back on the back. The custom-engraved buttons and back are all made of iron and are not plated, so they will rust over time, allowing you to enjoy the changes they undergo over time. All details are reproduced using the same methods as in the 1920s. The signature leather patch is mud-dyed on Amami Oshima.
