“Neo-Slub for A Future Look!”
Crafted from Omoto Denim’s exclusive 15.5oz 'Neo-Slub' selvage denim, this pair showcases a unique blend of texture and tone. The warp is made with long-staple American cotton, delivering a prominent vertical slub texture, while the weft uses short-fiber cotton to add a subtle neppy, “snowflake” effect. Woven on a 1950s Toyoda GL9 shuttle loom, the fabric develops an unmistakable tactile character only possible through slow, traditional weaving methods. To create the deep, signature “Grand Indigo” color, the yarns are rope-dyed with pure indigo over 20 times, resulting in a rich, saturated hue that promises dramatic fading and vibrant patina with wear.
Inspired by the 1940s, this denim jacket brings a modern twist to a classic silhouette. Designed in the simplified Type 1 "T-Back" style of WWII-era denim jackets, it captures vintage authenticity while adding thoughtful contemporary updates—like hidden hand-warmer side pockets for comfort during colder months.
Whether you're layering up in winter or throwing it over a tee in spring, this all-season denim jacket blends timeless character with a subtly modern edge—making it an ideal go-to for any wardrobe!
