This is why Japanese denim is so expensive. #denim #jeans #indigo

But the real question is whether or not there is any point in using real indigo, is it actually better or is it just more expensive

[richardtyler]

“As a denim connoisseur I can notice the difference between natural indigo and synthetic indigo. That’s why I don’t mind paying the premium price.” Said no one ever.

That denim kimono needs to be in my wardrobe ASAP

I have 2 pairs of these jeans and they were a headache to get right. There’s all these steps like don’t wash them for 6 months but instead keep them in the freezer to have them stay fresh etc. what I will say is that once they truly conform to your body they’re amazing.

[somdattamajumdar]

Why is Japanese EVERYTHING so expensive? Jeans, mangoes, ink, fish, fruits everything is so expensive damn.

[Bootbitch]

I would think they wouldn’t waste the indigo on something as trivial as jeans.

Soak the jeans in old car oil for 24 hours then wash it it will last a life time, will have a perfume smell with it as well

Say what you want, but japanese are geniuses at building a brand. The product may not be efficient, better quality, or better tasting, yet they can make it into anything grander.
