“Super-Duper-Nep!”
This denim jacket is constructed with Omoto Denim’s specially developed 16oz pink colour selvage ID, ‘Super-Nep’ textured denim. This denim is blended with different types of short-fibre cotton and woven slowly on the 1950s Toyoda GL8 machine. This results in the 16oz denim having a very strong ‘Snowflake-type’ neppy texture, but not so stiff in hand-touch at all, with wear and wash, the ‘snowflake-type’ texture will disappear, and short vertical textures will come up little by little. 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.
