The Omoto Denim 15.5oz Slub-Nep Loose Fit Denim features a heavily textured slubby and neppy fabric, with a noticeable white speckled vertical lines throughout. The Loose fit cut has a high rise and a wide and roomy fit throughout, with a slight taper towards the bottom opening. This fabric is produced on vintage Toyoda shuttle looms at a very low tension, resulting in the texture and irregularity that you see. The pair features original Omoto-branded sheep leather patch, hidden rivets and raised belt loops, and a herringbone pocket bag with a record keeping design.
Note: These are unsanforized but come from their factory with a pre-wash and sun-dried to remove most of the initial shrinkage. Due to their even-number only sizing, you may not necessarily get an exact fit as you would in other brands. These generally run TTS and we recommend taking your typical Japanese brand size, or size down/up accordingly if you prefer a snugger fit or looser fit. In general, with careful washing (machine wash cold/warm and hang-dry, you should experience no further shrinkage).
Model: 6'0'' and 175 lbs with moderate "lifter" thighs, wearing size 32 for a slightly loose fit on the waist, and a comfortable relaxed fit through the legs.
