Tenue de Nîmes x BIG JOHN
The ‘slim-tapered’ collaboration refers to the legendary Big John M1002 from 1967 made from a 14.5 oz fabric. By reducing the dyeing of the Kaihara fabric by 25%, the factory emphasized the traditional bright blue color that is referred to in Japanese as ‘Ruri’. The yellow selvage is a tribute to the traditional 1960’s fabric made by Cone Mills.

The natural blue ‘RURI’ fabric is some of the best we’ve ever seen! We’re ready to pick up our pairs.
These would be awesome if the yoke and back pockets weren’t halfway 3/4s of the way down your ass. Bummed.
