Pure Blue Japan WSB-013 Slim Tapered

When PBJ makes new proprietary denim and names it the “Double Slub”, it's time to take a step back and let the denim do the talking. Through a careful selection of slub yarns and the meticulous calibration of vintage shuttle looms based in Okayama, the Slub Masters have managed to once again stand true to their name and deliver a denim fabric with dizzying levels of texture.

Take PBJ's best-selling Slim Tapered cut and combine it with PBJ's latest proprietary 16oz. denim development for the current season, to welcome the first installment in the new WSB "Double Slub" series. While the texture is mesmerizing in loomstate, the slub activation is real upon the first contact with water, and the intricate texture of the fabric really gets highlighted after contact with water. 

Like many of Pure Blue Japan's jeans, the fabric is of a low-tension shuttle loom, thus featuring the slubby feeling fabric common to Pure Blue Japan denim. The production of these jeans is constant throughout every year in several different batches because the production output of the fabric is very limited.
