UES will be releasing its first limited edition denim, "Limited 400-Z," exclusively at its Osaka store and official online shop.
The silhouette is based on the current 400-Z. Since its release, this model has been very well received for its wide silhouette.
We will explain the unique features of this limited edition 400-Z.
The regular 400-Z is made from a heavy 17oz fabric with a rough texture, but this "Limited Edition 400-Z" uses the original Zimbabwe cotton 14.9oz brown denim that UES has been producing for over 20 years. Compared to the 17oz fabric, it has a sharper rough texture and the suppleness of Zimbabwe cotton, which creates a unique drape when worn with a loose, wide silhouette. This changes the way the whiskers and honeycomb are formed, allowing you to enjoy a slightly different color fading experience.
The leather patch, which can be said to be the face of denim, is made from tanned white cowhide. It is not bleached or dyed, and the natural color of the material is revealed. Because it is not dyed, it is susceptible to changes due to external factors, and the color changes caused by exposure to sunlight appear in an interesting way.
The printed letters are dark grey (almost black) to differentiate them from the standard red leather patch. There is a hidden mechanism that develops a unique character with use.
We are confident that UES denim sewing is perfect, so we have made very few changes.
As a minor change to the design, only the sewing thread on the back belt has been changed to yellow, the width of the belt loops has been increased by just 2 mm, and a tag has been sewn inside the waistband. The tag is a nice accent in UES's symbolic red and white colors.
The top buttons are all UES original donut buttons, but the small buttons are assorted. They are attached randomly in black laurel, silver, plain silver, etc., so you cannot specify the button.
This 400-Z also comes with an original UES tenugui towel!
Advance sales will begin on the 24th, but products are expected to be shipped around early November.
Please wait a little while until the release.
