Famously recognized as the very first denim brand in Japan, BIG JOHN has steadily built some of the country’s finest denim since 1940. Celebrating this storied tradition, Naked & Famous linked up with BIG JOHN to reproduce the very first denim fabric ever made in Japan by the oldest mill in Kurabo. The denim is a 14oz indigo, reminiscent of classic 1950s cowboy style jeans. They come cut in the brand’s Weird Guy fit and feature all of the signature BIG JOHN construction details you’d expect, including hidden rivets, antique copper hardware, a custom deer skin leather patch, and red/yellow selvedge ear. Only 377 pairs were produced, available exclusively through Barneys stores worldwide.
