“Golden Era of the U.S!”
Crafted from 14.5oz XX denim developed by Kurabo Mill over 30 years ago — the very same fabric that defined the original Denime — this denim is slated for discontinuation in 2026, making each pair a genuine collector’s item. Woven slowly on vintage Toyoda GL3 shuttle looms, this XX denim blends short-staple white U.S. cotton with long-staple tea cotton, producing a subtly brownish hue, a smooth hand feel, and a delicate vertical slub texture.The denim is repeatedly dyed in pure indigo using room-temperature water, resulting in a rich, deep “Grand Indigo” tone unique to this process. With wear and wash this denim will evolve dramatically, developing soulful, high-contrast fades reminiscent of classic wartime XX denim.
Design-wise, it’s all about the details we love — the natural tan deerskin leather patch, hidden back rivets, chain-stitching run-off, and the iconic red tab all pay homage to vintage craftsmanship. The high-rise, classic straight fit channels the spirit of 1954's Levi’s, offering a timeless silhouette that feels both authentic and enduring!
If you're after a truly collectible piece of denim history from Denime, the 220XX-54 model is a fantastic choice !
