FOB FACTORY / Selvage Denim Tapered 5P Pants

FOB FACTORY
Inspired by vintage styles, F.O.B FACTORY is a brand based in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, one of Japan's leading production areas. They conduct all processes in Japan, focusing on creating clothing that customers will appreciate three years after purchase.







Rugged and masculine durable fabric
Uses 14.75oz F.O.B FACTORY original Supima cotton 100% selvedge denim. By increasing the thread count to the extreme, it becomes an extremely tough material that also fits snugly to the wearer's body.

As you wear it, it molds to your body, allowing for long-lasting wear.



Becomes a unique piece with aging
Offers outstanding color fading reminiscent of vintage denim that enthusiasts will appreciate. It uses a dyeing method called rope dyeing, where only the outer layer of the yarn is dyed blue, leaving the core white. As a result, it develops a deep and distinctive appearance unique to denim as it ages.





Details that vintage enthusiasts approve
Features a button fly front. Uses an original iron top button with brand engraving and small tack buttons. Unlike typical brass or nickel buttons, the presence of iron develops a distinctive appearance with aging, showcasing a "rustic" charm.



Also highlights hidden rivets on the back pockets. This detail, absent in current designs, was adopted from vintage denim practices dating back to the 1930s to 60s. Initially, rivets were exposed, damaging saddles and furniture. Hence, "hidden rivets" were devised to protect them.



Furthermore, the leather patch on the waist uses deerskin, similar to that used in vintage denim. It symbolizes the brand's aim to bridge the gap between the creators of the denim and its wearers.





A silhouette crafted with meticulous attention to customer feedback
Based on requests from F.O.B users in Europe, a new pattern was created. The rise is slightly deeper, with a bit more room around the thighs and a narrower hem width, resulting in an elegant tapered line.
