BIG JOHN [XXXX-EXTRA ] 5 Continents Organic Denim

The pentagonal shape of the BIG JOHN’s symbol „Baseball Mark“ has the meaning of „sending jeans that people love and enjoy to the five continents of the world”. In honor of this pentagon, they have collected carefully chosen organic cotton from the five continents of the world and created special woven yarns with their own unique blend. This is Big John’s exclusive „irregular“ structured yarn, which has a fluffy, supple, and rough texture.

Natural Indigo & Rope-Dyed

Big John

They use the deep indigo color of natural indigo. It was dyed several times until a satisfactory indigo color was achieved by dyeing the rope 16 times. It took more than three times as much time and effort as usual to achieve the desired level of perfection.

 

The fabric is woven slowly and carefully over time using vintage shuttle looms from the early Showa period, which are few in number. The fabric 15.8 ounces are in the heavy category, but over time it develops a fluffy texture with a distinctive uneven surface. The fabric is finished with a unique surface texture.
