"JP94310 44Denim 

For the STANDARD COLLECTION, we have made a new run of the “44Denim”, with the image of 1944 in mind, focusing especially on the end of the Second World War. For this run we have used a 7 /-× 6 / - thread count to make the fabric thicker than we use on the “66 Denim”, the Warp is made from American Cotton and the Weft is Zimbabwe for added comfort and a soft handle. The thread count is 66x 44, the Weft thread count being reduced slightly compared to the 66 denim for a little bit of ease.

The “44Denim” has all the features you’d expect of jeans from this era, in response to the production restrictions at the time; Herringbone pocket bags, no arcuate and no rivets on the coin pocket bag.

By changing the Weft to Zimbabwean cotton, and retaining the dry crispiness of the Warp Memphis, the denim will age gently with wear and washing. The silhouette is not too wide or too slim, sitting between the “55Denim” and the “66Denim” making it a very easy cut to wear for everyone.....by JELADO"
