You know who you are. You love denim and want a pair of vintage-made Japanese selvedge denim but you simply can’t fit into the smaller sizes made for the smaller Asian body-types. We at Denimio provide different channels where customers can easily contact our team in order to help find the right jeans and sizes, and it is through those channels that we often hear the frustration of our bigger-bodied, taller customers. Inevitably, we, a lot of times, have to be honest by not recommending our customers to squeeze into small sized jeans due to size unavailability from the manufacturers. Commonly size 36 is the largest size most Japanese jeans brands offer, but we thought it would be good to bring to your attention the amazing options that we’ve recently added in bigger sizes. So whether you have been looking for that larger size for yourself or know of a friend who hasn’t been able to get a pair of the best raw denim in the world, your search is over. Check out these awesome big and tall Japanese denim options.
