Japanese-Inspired Selvedge Denim Capsules

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Levi's Presents its Made in Japan Collection

— August 2, 2023 — Fashion
Levi's introduces its new Made in Japan collection, where it takes three classic cuts from its archives and details it with new updates. This includes the iconic 501s, the slightly looser iteration in the form of the 505, and the slimmer-cut 511. All of these are detailed with a distinctive wash and for one of these, it gets a patchwork pattern.

To join the bottoms, the capsule also highlights a matching trucker jacket -- one of which is detailed with a layered arrow pattern that is paneling across the silhouette. Notably, all of the items in the collection are made from denim materials that have been sourced from an inimitable Kaihara denim mill in Hiroshima, which happens to be where most selvage denim is created.
