Developed to meet the flow of every moment
A timeless cut with thoughtful detail, this slightly slim straight model from the Zero 17oz series offers a beautifully balanced silhouettemildly shallow in the rise, with a straight leg that runs clean from thigh to hem. Designed without taper, it's a cut that stays classic, neither too wide nor too narrow.
The denim is crafted from 17oz Bushido selvedge, woven using slubby #5 yarn on vintage shuttle looms. Its a rugged, textured fabric with a distinct, coarse feelone that promises bold, high-contrast fades as it softens and ages, revealing alternating light and dark tones over time.
Embodying the Zen spirit of readiness and presence, the exclusive leather patch evokes the moment of stillness before a strikethe state of zero. The Impermanence jacquard slake, featuring the characters "sho gyo mu jo" (all things must pass), reinforces this meditative theme.
Attention to construction runs deep. The jeans are sewn with original yellow and golden brown threads, with varied stitch counts, widths, and needle types used across different areas for enhanced durability and a refined finish. Further details include iron pine tree buttons, copper coin-shaped rivets, and a custom SAMURAI woven label. While recent spec changes mean the back pocket arcs and woven label have been removed, the overall build quality remains uncompromising.
