Straight from the Denim Archives — A Legendary Revival!
Inspired by the final batch of Levi’s iconic ‘66 denim, originally released in the late 1960s, Denime brings this historic silhouette back to life — with even greater craftsmanship than the original!
Crafted from 14.5oz XX denim developed by Kurabo Mill over 30 years ago, the very same denim that defined OG Denime — this denim is scheduled to be discontinued in 2026, making each pair a true collector’s item. Woven slowly on vintage Toyoda GL3 shuttle looms, the fabric blends short-fiber white U.S. cotton with long-fiber tea cotton, resulting in a subtly brownish cast, smooth hand feel, and delicate vertical texture. The sumi-black tone colour is sulphur thread-dyed. With wear and wash, these denim will develop a soulful sumi-black fade, revealing a warm-toned vintage patina that’s as distinctive as it is timeless.
Design highlights include the iconic papar-ticket patch, custom copper buttons, and an overall aesthetic that captures that coveted “last-batch vintage” character.
If you are looking to experience the iconic '66 black denim with premium Japanese fabrics and construction, we know you will love this one from Denime!
