The ultimate XX representing FOB Denim
FOB’s vintage flagship model, the F151 Selvedge XX5P.
Denim freaks call it the “perfection of 501”, and it was developed with the brand’s unique interpretation of the Levi’s 501XX design source. Please enjoy one of FOB’s most representative products, made without compromising the fabric, sewing, and everything else.
F.O.B FACTORY
Inspired by vintage clothing and based on work, military, and jeans, the brand is headquartered in Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, one of the leading production bases in Japan, and all processes are carried out in Japan. The brand aims to create clothes that customers will be glad they bought three years from now.
Dark and strong raw denim
Fabric is a 14.75oz selvage denim made from 100% American Supima cotton, known for its high quality. This material is stronger than regular cotton and absorbs color easily. Made on an old-style weaving machine (
), it has a slightly stiff and crisp texture because it has not undergone the hair burning process. It is repeatedly rope-dyed to achieve a darker color, but as it is worn repeatedly, the feel at the beginning and the deep texture will gradually change. It will become softer and more personalized.
Also, the one-wash process prevents significant shrinkage, so it does not lose its shape and maintains a beautiful silhouette.
As it changes over time
The concept is “jeans that fade well like vintage jeans no matter who wears them or how they are worn”, and this is the denim fabric that enthusiasts can enjoy outstanding color fading.
The color is dyed extremely dark by repeated rope-dyeing, so the color fades slowly. The aging process that takes place slowly over a long period of time and is produced by the careful fabric and sewing is breathtaking.
Details filled with care and thought Detail
Button-fly front. The original top button has V-stitching on the sides, a unique vintage sewing technique that was seen until the 1960s, when sewing machines did not have a backstitching function.
also has single stitching above the waistband and chain stitching below. This specification is often called “V-stitch waist single” or “V-stitch waist back single” in the vintage market.
hem and coin pockets Vintage details such as selvedges and concealed rivets are fully loaded. The archuate stitching on the back pockets represents the brand’s initials “ff”.
The design of the bridge on the leather patch also expresses the brand’s wish that “this denim will be a bridge between the maker and the customer who wears it”.
Japanese Silhouette that fits the body shape
The XX model is used as a base, but without the fussiness, and the inseam has been made slightly deeper to fit the Japanese body shape. The addition of modern elements adds an urban and classy atmosphere.
The clean, narrow straight silhouette creates a beautiful leg line, making this pair easy to match with a wide range of styling.
