The brand's guiding principle is not to "reproduce" old clothes, but to "reconstruct" them anew, incorporating the essence of the times and the unique production background that can only be found in Japan. Therefore, the clothes created by the brand are full of stories. The first item to be introduced is a model that recreates jeans from World War II.

40th Great War Jeans ¥25,800+TAX
¥27,800+TAX (38, 40 inches)

During World War II in the early 1940s, the United States was regulated by the Office of War Products Supervision in order to focus on war materials. As a result of thorough restrictions on areas deemed useless by the Supervisory Bureau, every part of the jeans was simplified. In addition to this, veteran sewing craftsmen mainly manufactured military uniforms, and jeans were still manufactured by sewing workers with limited skills. As a result, the jeans were misshapen, but since there were restrictions on redoing them, they were sold as-is.

Scheduled for release in late February, the "40th Great War Jeans" reproduce the awkward sewing and simplified details of the period. The rough denim fabric is dyed beige to express the atmosphere of the period.
