"The CLASSICO from Omoto Denim — where origin and ending share the same shape!"
Crafted with Omoto Denim's Signature 15.5oz Green Selvage ID high-density Denim. This exceptional denim is woven using a custom-developed 15.5oz green selvage ID fabric, uniquely composed of 65% hand-picked long-staple Memphis cotton from the USA and 35% premium long-staple Zimbabwean cotton. The blend combines the soft, silky hand-feel reminiscent of 100% Zimbabwean cotton with the irregular, rugged texture often found in 100% American cotton denim—offering the best of both worlds! Woven slowly and tightly on an extremely rare 1950s Sakamoto shuttle loom, this denim embodies the heritage of true vintage craftsmanship. The use of this vintage loom ensures a dense, character-rich fabric that modern machines simply can't replicate! To achieve Omoto's signature "Grand Indigo" tone, the yarns undergo a pure indigo rope-dyeing process repeated over 20 times. This intensive dyeing method creates a deep, rich indigo that will age beautifully, developing high-contrast fades and vibrant blue hues over time with wear.
Recreated by the 1950s classic type 2 denim jacket design, it captures vintage authenticity while adding thoughtful contemporary updates—like hidden hand-warmer side pockets for comfort during colder months.
