About the Limited Edition Legend Kiyama Denim
Kiyama-san has been producing denim all his life in the denim holly land of Okayama, Japan. For over 50 years, he's produced world class denim. For this special project, he's agreed to produce some of the last rolls of loose weave raw denim from the Toyoda G3 machine that is no longer used in most denim production factories, because of it's time consuming nature. The care and attention that it takes to run the machine gives the denim a old-world quality, much like the denim jeans we now revel as vintage, this denim is one of a kind.
Each one of our denim pieces are hand made to order in our small studio in Brooklyn, NY. For the love of vintage denim, I spent over two years collecting vintage Singer machines to both honor and replicate the qualities of denim from the past. Each piece takes up to 8 hours to produce. I do this so that I can produce the best quality jeans for everyone. One by one, I read the orders and cut each pattern as they come, making every pair to their original or bespoke needs.
