1170-1-BK - Sashiko Denim Loose Fit - Black x Gray

The Pure Blue Japan 1170-1-BK is a standout piece that pushes denim texture into fresh territory. Woven from a heavyweight sashiko fabric in Black x Gray this denim has deep, layered character and a richly tactile feel. The base is a less familiar black-dyed cotton, but the sashiko weave adds a dimensional grid-like pattern that you can see and feel - reminiscent of traditional Japanese quilting techniques but done with the structure and durability of selvedge denim. The result is visually subtle yet richly detailed, and it breaks in with unique fades along the raised sashiko threads. Cut in PBJ’s Loose Fit silhouette, it features a high rise, roomy top block, and a wide, straight leg for relaxed wear and a true vintage workwear vibe. Every detail - from the sashiko stitching to the natural deerskin patch - reflects the brand’s commitment to craft.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy popped up to a 34 in these. That tends to be his standard starting point from PBJ. These being a loose fit have extra room in the waist, which was noticeable but not unmanageable with a belt. We recommend you stick with your true size or one size up if you want a roomier cut. We like to have more room than less these days. Tommy is 5'10,' 165lbs with a 33-34" waist.
