Fit

BDD-516 is a slim fitting jean with a high rise, snug thighs, and slim tapered legs. This fit caters especially well to taller people, aiming for a slim silhouette. It can also be a great alternative for anyone looking for a higher slim fit than BDD-006, or a slimmer fitting option compared to BDD-711.

Fabric

Low tension 14 oz. RHT is our first proprietary fabric woven in Japan, also known as ‘special #1’. Weighing in at a versatile 14 oz. this is a perfect mid-weight denim for all-year-round wear. The low tension weave gives the denim a slightly looser structure, which shows an uneven weaving pattern and subtle slubs in the yarns. The selvedge ID is yellow & green; this represents the first stages of indigo-dyeing before it becomes the distinctive dark blue colour indigo is known for. This denim has been created exclusively for BENZAK by Collect Mills in Kojima, Japan, in 2016, and is one of our two core fabrics in the ‘made in Japan’ line.
