Models:XX 007

= Deep Indigo Slim Straight =



14 oz original deep indigo selvedge denim. Slim straight. One Wash.

The XX-007 is a 100% indigo woven denim, not overdyed. The most common indigo denims are woven with vertical indigo warp threads and horizontal undyed weft yarns. The XX-007 uses genuine indigo dyed warp and weft (threads and yarns) to create a solid blue indigo jean.

The warp is the same original type as in XX-003, XX-004 and XX-005 which are made by Pure Blue. Both the warp and weft in this denim material are dyed indigo using rope dyeing. The weft is a different thickness.

The cores of these threads and yarns remain undyed as the indigo does not fully penetrate to the centers. This allows for contrast fading similar to that of traditional blue jeans but with a unique blue overcast.

The uneven, rough quality is the same, and the weft peeping out on the surface give it a very deep indigo color. To help preserve that deep color the stitching is black and navy with black little herringbone stitching in the pockets.

The shape is the same slim straight as the XX-005.

In the rankings mentioned elsewhere XX-007 lost out to third place by a small margin to come fourth.



This model is a forerunner for Pure Blue Japan's range of more eccentric jeans. Jeans, which were originally work clothes, have become smart and fashionable. exemplified by this model.

It might suit those who are a little tired of regular denim, and looking for something with a little more individuality. The smart look make them even suitable in the workplace.

This material has a deep indigo color that just begs for attention. To emphasize the indigo color, the buttons, rivets and stitching is all black, which has the effect of hiding their presence. Since the color is so deep you might imagine it won't fade easily. However, as we'll see, this isn't the case.



This pair is about one year old. Notice that the pace of fading is similar to the XX-005. The reason is that this denim doesn't get its deep color from a specially deep color dye. Using the same logic as in purple denim, both the horizontal and vertical threads are dyed indigo, which produces the deep color.



Another result is that there is a stark contrast between faded and non-faded areas, giving the jeans real depth.



Little spots like this are normal.



Here you can see fading even on the inside.



The leather patch is the same orange color as the XX-010.



The belt loops and leaf mark have aged nicely too.



Despite not ranking in the top three sellers it's still a popular model.
