LOT.704 DENIM TROUSERS C.1920'S

The denim Trousers from the 1920s is one of T.T’s iconic items.
Taiga Takahashi preferred denim from “store-based brands” rather than well-known denim brands. In particular, he liked “Foremost” which was made by J.C. Penny. They started producing denims in the 1920s by imitating well-known denim brands, gradually developed their own unique styles. Takahashi collected these denims and imagined the brands attempts to differentiate themselves from well-known denim brands through trial and error in the details of their designs. The original denim of T.T was created by taking over their creative mind.
Using 100% American organic cotton, the 3/1 left twill, light oz denim was woven on an old-type power loom in Okayama, also called a shuttle loom, which can only weave at a speed ten to twenty times slower than a modern loom. 
The slow-woven denim keeps the natural unevenness of cotton yarn, creating a desirable irregularity in the texture. The warp yarn, dyed with indigo mixed with sulfur dye, carries a definitive green-cast, weathered look. The rope dyeing technique is applied to leave the white core. The weft is custom-made nep yarn dyed in yellowed natural color to express the passage of time. By using these two yarns, Takahashi perfected his unique indigo blue which is deep and rich. The fabric is finished with sanforized process to prevent shrinkage.The fabric is selvedge denim with a white edge, which is featured in various parts like the reverse side of the belt.
The notably high-rise jeans have a distinguishably wide silhouette with straight vertical lines from the thighs to the hems. Essential design elements such as the round curve of the front pockets and the buckle-back on the backside, are remained.
The buttons and backside parts marked with original engravings are all made of iron, which is uncoated by design to produce aged beauty over time. All details from the 1920s were replicated by faithfully following the methods from the time. The signature leather patch is mud-dyed in Amami Oshima Island.
