BLUE BLUE is the casual offshoot of a denim brand that’s highly regarded for its traditional Japanese silhouettes. Here, soft Supima cotton has been rope-dyed and constructed on an old-fashioned power loom to create jeans of vintage authenticity and premium quality. You’ll need to order them from Japan, but that’s a price worth paying for jeans that are easy to steel, very robust and feel incredible.
