Benzak x Japan Blue Jeans - 16.5oz. Côte d’Ivoire Cotton Monster Selvedge
It's pretty incredible to get two wonderful, "once-in-ten-years" kinds of collaborations in a matter of 8 months. This round is unequivocally one of the nicest pairs of the year. It has all of the details we look for on the level of customization we only dream of. This is the culmination of ten years of friendship between two of our most beloved brands. It all starts with the signature baby blue Benzak inseam. The next thing that catches our eye is the dual Ivory Coast and Japanese selvedge IDs. This is definitely a Japan Blue standard, but you'll also notice many of Benzak's "Special" pairs have dual-color IDs as well. You'll also see Benzaks signature coin pocket as well as many, many other details. The 16.5oz Cotton Monster Selvedge is a texture wonderland, and it speaks for itself.
Everything from the cotton cultivation to harvesting is done by hand; this benefits the cotton fibers as they are rarely damaged, creating a super-high quality base for this heavy-weight fabric. Because there are no pesticides used or no modification is applied, this type of cotton is considered ‘closest to original’.
This 16.5 oz. slubby ‘monster fabric’ is woven with a low tension, which creates a texture similar to hand-woven fabrics known for amazing fading results.

Fit Notes:
The BDD-006 is a slim-fitting silhouette with a modern low-rise, snug thighs and a consistent slim straight shape down the leg. Due to this, the BDD-006 is a versatile modernized slim fit suitable for the majority of body types.
Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 30 in the images. His typical size is a 31, but these seem to fit just a little bigger than your typical pair. This is pretty typical of Benzak pairs. Tommy is 5'10," 162lbs with a 32-33" true waist measurement.
