Taiga Takahashi's iconic denim trousers "Lot. 704 DENIM TROUSERS c.1920's"


Taiga Takahashi preferred denim from store brands over Levi's.


In particular, the brand "J.C.Penny," which developed Foremost,

began making denim that imitated Levi's in the 1920s,

gradually evolving into designs with originality.



Taiga Takahashi collected these denims,

feeling their trial and error and the intention of "how to differentiate from Levi's"

in various details,

and inherited that intention, leading to the birth of Taiga Takahashi's original denim.


Using American organic cotton as the material,

it employs original 100% light ounce denim woven on an old-fashioned power loom in Okayama with a 3/1 left-hand twill.



The denim fabric, woven slowly on an old-fashioned power loom,

also known as a shuttle loom, which can only weave at a speed of 1/10 to 1/20 of modern looms,

retains the natural texture of the cotton thread, creating a desirable unevenness.



For the warp, indigo mixed with sulfur dyes is used,

characterized by a green cast color that has weathered over many years,

while the weft is dyed with rope dyeing to a core white,

using custom nep yarn dyed to a yellowed natural color that evokes the passage of time.


By using these two types of yarn,

Taiga Takahashi has achieved a rich and deep original indigo blue.



Furthermore, a sanforized finish (shrink-proof treatment) has been applied,

considering the comfort when worn and incorporating ideas based on a realistic view of items from that time.



The rounded front pockets,

the rivets on the openings, and the buckle back on the rear

are designed to retain essential elements.



The custom-engraved buttons and back

are all made of iron and are not plated on the surface,

allowing them to rust over time, thus enjoying the changes that come with age.


The hem is made of selvedge denim fabric known as "white ear,"

utilizing the white ear in various places such as the front hem and cuff underside,

including a design approach that reflects the craftsmanship of the time.


The signature leather patch is dyed with mud from Amami Oshima,

and the back style
