Big John Jeans M1803 Regular Straight 17oz.

Big John Jeans M1803 Regular Straight 17oz., a solid heavyweight from Japan's first denim brand.

Big John's original 17oz selvedge jeans made of 100% US cotton, deep tone of indigo, and dyed extra deep. The jeans are made into workwear with the atmosphere of the time when jeans were born.

The M1803 in 17oz. heavy gauge weave is a great pair of jeans in a comfortable, slight heavyweight style. The regular fit allows for various ways of styling in terms of shoes, shirts and other apparel. These jeans have been rinsed once in Japan, meaning they're a bit softer on the handle and have had some shrinkage. These jeans can shrink slightly with wash, so we recommend you to check the size guide carefully to determine the right size for yourself.

Big John is the original Japanese denim brand that's been defining quality and craftsmanship since 1940. Founded by Kotaro Osaki in Kojima, Japan, what started as a small sewing factory known as Maruo Clothing has grown into a pioneering force in the world of denim.In 1965, they produced Japan’s first domestically made jeans, overcoming numerous challenges, such as sourcing denim fabric and adapting sewing techniques. These jeans were released under the brand "CANTON.", pioneering what is now known as “one-wash denim.” Since 1967 they are known as BIG JOHN.

Please note that (raw) denim in (natural) indigo might bleed on light surfaces and textiles such as white sneakers or an off-white sofa. We advise you to turn the jeans inside out and soak it in a bucket with cold water for 30 minutes, before the first actual wear. This way you rinse out a bit of leftover starch and indigo plus it takes out the final bits of shrinkage. The bleeding of indigo, as it is known as, is a characteristic of quality denim and will also occur during the early stages of wear.
