Buy NowEvery brand has one fabric it is known for. For Pure Blue Japan it is the XX: the 14oz slub selvedge denim that has been the brand's signature since the early 2000s and the reason it built a following far beyond Okayama. The yarn is the point – Pure Blue Japan's own slub threads, spun with deliberate irregularities in thickness, then woven on vintage shuttle looms at ultra-low tension so the unevenness stays in the cloth. The surface comes out rough, slubby and hairy in a way conventional spinning cannot reproduce, and the weavers stand behind it completely.
The fabric is dyed with a pure indigo warp over a white weft, and it fades the way XX has always faded: as the denim is worn in, the slub catches the wear first and fading spots appear across the surface, building a high-contrast character that rewards patience and daily use. It comes unsanforized and one-washed, so the sizing is settled and no further shrinkage is expected.
The 019 is Pure Blue Japan's relaxed tapered: a mid-high rise (10.8' at the front on a 32), generous room through the seat and thigh, and a strong taper from the knee to a narrow 6.7' leg opening. It carries the comfort of a roomy top block and resolves it into a clean line at the ankle – a natural fit for boots or sneakers alike.
Details hold to the brand's standard: custom iron buttons on a button fly, hidden copper rivets on the back pockets, raised belt loops, heavy-duty bar tacks, long stitching and a chain-stitched hem. The front pockets are lined in durable cotton, the coin pocket shows a peek-a-boo selvedge edge, and the blue selvedge ID sits at the outseam. The indigofera leaf embroidery on the back pocket and a lambskin leather patch finish it. 100% cotton. Made in Japan.
Fit Notes: These jeans run a bit small compared to most global American brands: the waist measures at or just under the tagged size. We recommend going one size up from your usual size, or taking your usual size only if you want a snug fit from day one. The 019…
