Description

The Lot. 721 Damaged Indigo Denim 1930s Trouser from Taiga Takahashi T.T is inspired by archive workwear from the industrial era and comes in a Straight fit with a high rise, roomy seat and thigh, and a gently tapered straight leg that ends in a wide hem. These Denim Trousers are crafted from a sanforized, raw 11 oz. Original T.T Selvedge Denim that's vintage shuttle-loomed in Okayama as a custom 3 x 1 Left Hand Twill with consistent, moderate tension that yields a luxurious, structured drape. This signature denim features 100% US-grown Organic Cotton for exclusive yarns that are slightly slubbed and tinted to achieve subtle, period-correct fades. The sulfur and indigo-rope-dyed warp is woven with a grey-beige tinted weft, featuring a natural core that replicates the industrial era's ecru-blue selvedge denims of yesteryear with refinement. Referencing the archive original, artisans hand-distressed the garment through sophisticated, multi-stage processes to replicate decades of workwear in an authentic aesthetic. Guided by the Applied Archaeology ethos and the Taiga Takahashi archives, this piece resurrects a relic of the past as an artifact of the future, blending aesthetic principles rooted in Japanese concepts of craftsmanship and beauty. Paying homage to the original with elevated details and custom trims, this 1930s Denim Trouser features a button fly and exterior suspender buttons in copper with a black tree sap lacquer finish for an antique expression, and uncoated external copper rivets that will patina and age naturally. It also includes cotton twill pocket bags, a cinch buckle back, and an Amami Oshima mud-dyed leather patch. Innovating designs from the past using old-world techniques with exquisite precision, the Lot. 721 Trouser is constructed with a two-piece waistband, a chainstitched seat, inseam, and hem, and bartack reinforcements throughout.
