DENIME - Lot 221 - Big 'E' Model - Indigo
The Big 'E' originally crafted by DENIME during its inception, has been meticulously reproduced to capture its authentic essence of the 1960s. Working in collaboration with Kurabo, the fabric was developed based on the original recipe, ensuring a faithful representation of the time. Employing ring-spun rice cotton yarn that was rope-dyed with a unique indigo hue and finished with plant-based dyes, the fabric boasts a remarkable depth and a distinct DENIME-like color. Additionally, the use of room temperature water during the scouring process prior to rope dyeing results in richly dark dyed areas while maintaining the desired whiteness (nakajiro), enhancing the strength of the warp yarn. The denim is woven on traditional GL3 power looms, effectively incorporating the inherent characteristics of the uneven yarn, embodying the fusion of DENIME's originality and the Warehouse's relentless pursuit of excellence. These jeans strive to be the epitome of Japanese denim craftsmanship. And that's why we had to have them for our store and trust us, they don't disappoint. This model is slightly tapered at the ankle in comparison to the XX model.

A variance of +/-.5" is within tolerance.
According to the manufacturer, these will shrink 2.5 inches in the waist and inseam. That's why the tag says "buy 'em loose." They're unsanforized and will shrink.
Fit Notes: Because these are unsanforized, they fit a little larger upfront than a standard Warehouse model. Tommy was able to get into the 32 pretty easily, but would likely buy a size 33 or 34 due to shrinkage. He really likes the roomy cut you see in the pictures and would want to keep that after the wash. These have a really nice rise and a slight taper to the ankle. Tommy is 5'10," 180lbs with a 33-34" waist, and his typical North American size is a 32.
