In the 1950s, the jeans loved by Marilyn Monroe were the world's first women's jeans.
Their features included a button fly, a high rise, and a relaxed, wide straight leg.
Modern Classic is based on the silhouette of Marilyn Monroe's favorite jeans, but has been evolved with the latest pattern-making techniques to create a beautiful, non-constricting fit around the hips.
Details faithfully reproduce vintage details from the 1940s, such as the selvedge (red line) on the sides, the hidden rivets on the back pockets, and the back strap for waist adjustment, while updating to a zipper fly to prevent nail damage.
It's packed with meticulous details, including sterling silver-plated buttons and copper rivets.
The material is 12.5oz selvedge (red line) denim made from American cotton woven on old-fashioned shuttle looms, a globally recognized premium material.
It's slightly thin with a hint of stretch, so it combines the heavy look of vintage denim with lightness and comfort. These jeans have a crisp, unwashed (rigid) look with no pilling, but they've actually undergone a unique washing process called "re.birth."
Rigid denim is appealing for its clean look, but it shrinks significantly with home washing, so you have to choose a larger size initially, and the color bleeds so much that your hands turn blue from the indigo dye.
The re.birth wash is a process where the jeans are washed (rinsed) once, then starched again with a non-water-soluble starch, returning them to their unwashed look.
This allows you to choose the perfect size from the start, reduces color fading, minimizes pilling after washing, and maintains the rigid look for longer.
Modern Classic jeans are not just replicas; they are jeans where the taste of good old vintage coexists with the latest technology.
The fabric is manufactured in Hiroshima Prefecture, while the sewing and washing process are done in Miyagi Prefecture.
While Okayama-made jeans are world-famous, the first jeans sewn in Japan are said to have been made by Watanabe Sewing in Gunma Prefecture. Watanabe Sewing, which relocated to Miyagi Prefecture in the 1970s, manufactures its jeans at the factory that continues to operate there today. Although not widely known, Miyagi Prefecture has the second-highest number of jeans factories after Okayama Prefecture.
