The fabric is made by Nihon Menpu Textile Co., Ltd in Japan. It is a rigid 100% cotton dark indigo 13-oz. selvedge raw denim. Just before completion, during the sewing process, the pocket bags are autographed by the designer, which includes a caricature of the designer. Each of the newly upgraded American made 8.5-oz. 100% cotton pocket bags are hand-drawn with a Sharpie permanent marker. No two pocket bags are alike.

This jean measures to our standard spec as listed below in the measurements chart. However, the pattern has to be customized in cutting to make sure the leg opening meets the final 15-inch leg opening spec, because the standard pattern is drafted in 35-inch inseam. We shift the knee & hem position up to meet the standard width on the shorter 32-inch inseam.
