The Beauty of Fading Over Time
This denim is made from rare Zimbabwe cotton, prized for its balance of softness and strength.

Its long, fine fibers create a smooth texture and natural elasticity, providing exceptional durability that resists deformation—qualities that set it apart from ordinary cotton. This balance ensures a piece that ages gracefully and lasts for years to come.



The cotton is hand-picked in the highlands of southeastern Africa, 1,500 meters above sea level, without the use of agricultural chemicals—resulting in an organic fiber of the highest quality.

The deep indigo hue comes from rope-dyeing, a method that colors only the surface of the yarn. This allows for a uniquely expressive fade pattern as the denim matures. With wear and washing, distinctive creases and fades emerge, adding character and individuality to the fabric’s expression.





Inspired by 1940s “WWII models,” this piece faithfully recreates the utilitarian detailing of vintage military-era denim.



These wartime designs emerged from material shortages, resulting in garments defined by simplicity and function. To capture that same lived-in authenticity, skilled artisans hand-process each piece to create a naturally weathered, vintage appearance.



The “T-back” paneling across the back—a signature detail of WWII models—creates a strong, balanced silhouette.



A rear cinch buckle replaces the need for a belt, allowing for easy adjustment and adding a distinctive vintage character.









The wide, relaxed silhouette offers a comfortable fit while keeping in line with contemporary trends. The slightly cropped length pairs easily with various bottoms, making it a refined yet casual piece suited for modern wardrobes.
