【00s Japan Denim Archive - Embodying Artistic Aging】 Okayama, the sacred land of denim that Japan boasts to the world. In the 2000s, a brand with a solitary presence shone there: **"SOMET."** We are offering a rare archive piece from the mid-2000s, which is now difficult to obtain. ■ The Aesthetic Beauty of "Whiskers" and "Honeycombs" Achieved Without Compromise The greatest value of this piece lies in its aging, achieved through **"diligent wear,"** something that cannot be replicated by processing. • Honeycombs (back of knees): Crisp, sharp, honeycomb-like fading. The memory of walking and bending is etched as a contrast of light and dark. • Whiskers (waist area): Sharp, three-dimensional whiskers. The contrast between the deep indigo blue and the faded white is truly "moving art." ■ The Pride of the SOMET Brand Manufactured by Taisai Corporation at the time. Made with heavy 14.5oz selvedge (red ear) denim. • Hidden rivets / Button fly / Leather patch: Details imbued with deep respect for vintage. • Silhouette: Calculated cutting that beautifully enhances the Japanese physique. ■ A "Ready-to-Wear" Piece Surpassing the Original Price of ¥28,000 To achieve this level of fading on a new pair would require several years of stoic wear. This item is in the **"best condition,"** with the most beautiful fading while still retaining a good amount of deep indigo. The enjoyment of further breaking them in and deepening the fading to your own body remains. ■ Details & Specifications • Era: Mid-2000s Archive (Manufactured by Taisai Corporation) • Production: MADE IN JAPAN (Okayama Prefecture) • Material: 100% Cotton (Red ear selvedge) • Tagged Size: 30 inches • Flat Measurements: * Waist: 39cm • Rise: Approx. 27cm • Inseam: Approx. 76cm • Hem Width: Approx. 20cm ■ Finally You will never encounter another piece with the same unique character.
