This pair of Omoto Denim 16oz Indigo Dyed “Super-Nep” 0612 Denim was worn by our Melbourne VIP Friend -- Rikij, who shares:
"Omoto Denim was a completely new brand to me. The reason I decided to buy my first pair was simple—I kept seeing Melbourne Store's senior staff member -- Vito, wearing his 13.5oz Omoto Denim jeans. After noticing the beautiful bright blue fades developing on his pair, I was convinced. That was exactly what inspired me to pick up this 16oz 'Super-Nep' version for myself."
"I decided to make this pair of 16oz 'Super-Nep' denim my everyday work jeans. At the time, I was working on a construction site seven days a week for three consecutive months, which is exactly why this pair developed its fades so quickly."
"On a construction site, it's common to brush against sharp edges or rough materials that can easily leave you scratched or injured if you're not wearing durable workwear. Fortunately, I had this pair of 16oz 'Super-Nep' Omoto Denim on, and it saved me from a few nasty cuts. In return, the jeans picked up a handful of 'battle scars' of their own—small scratches that remain as honourable reminders of those long, hard-working days."
"As I continued wearing them as my daily work jeans, I hardly noticed how beautifully they were fading. It wasn't until three months later that I realised how much character they had developed. The deerskin leather patch had darkened and glossier, the centres of the belt loops had begun to show their distinctive wear patterns, and the 16oz 'Super-Nep' denim had started to reveal beautiful, bright indigo hues. At the same time, the signature white nep flecks gradually began to emerge, giving the fabric even more depth and character."
" Three months later, I finally gave this pair of denim its first cold, gentle machine wash. It was only then that I truly realised how much they had faded. Every crease, every scratch, and every contrast fade told the story of those long days on the construction site.
But when I looked at them again, I realised something... The denim may have faded, but those memories never will..."
