Realign Denim drops “Our Ode to Japanese Denim” collection
Premium denim brand Realign Denim just announced the release of their latest collection, “Our Ode to Japanese Denim”. Elaborating on their successful establishment in the denim community and fruitful relationship with their makers in Japan, Realign Denim continues what it began in 2021, offering high-quality, hard-wearing jeans made from unique selvedge denim in Japan without any compromises.
Realign Denim sprang fully formed out of the founder’s deep admiration for Japanese denim and craftsmanship. The brand’s denims and pairs are all milled, cut, and sewn in Japan, with an emphasis on longevity. Designed with daily and loving use in mind, Realign’s pairs have become extremely popular thanks to their high-quality denims and well-balanced silhouettes. Their passions and priorities are reflected in every piece in their new collection.
With the “Our Ode to Japanese Denim” collection, Realign Denim celebrates the beauty of Japanese denim with three entirely new pairs of premium jeans.
Realign: “Our Ode to Japanese Denim”
Realign’s Our Ode to Japanese Denim collection consists of three pairs of jeans, all of them cut and sewn into the brand’s most popular and broadly accessible cut, the Regular Kenji, a relaxed fit with a clean taper for a contemporary finish. The Regular Kenji is their classic heritage-driven silhouette and is designed for optimal comfort and wearability, perfectly fitting into the contemporary denim landscape. All pairs are woven, cut, and sewn in Kojima, Japan, following authentic Japanese manufacturing methods to ensure the highest quality.
All three new pairs feature Realign’s signature details including tonal stitched arcuates on the back pockets, an indigo-dyed deerskin leather patch, and custom-made branded buttons. They also have typical Japanese heritage-inspired details such as a peek-a-boo selvedge detail on the coin pocket, a chain stitched hem and waistband, and hidden rivets on the back pockets. Realign’s jeans are firmly grounded in the storied history of Japanese denim, featuring classic details with a contemporary twist.
Without further ado, let’s introduce the stars of the show:
Regular Kenji 14 oz. Double Indigo II
Realign’s second double indigo denim, the 14 oz. Double Indigo II features rich indigo tones in both the warp and the weft yarns. This combination creates an incredibly deep and dark denim that fades beautifully. The Double Indigo II denim has been woven from a combination of American and Australian cotton that has been rope dyed in pure indigo. When fresh off the rack, the denim has a purple-ish hue. As the denim fades, purple becomes vibrant blue. In time, the blue gives way to white in areas of stress, leading to stunning contrast fades.
Regular Kenji 17 oz. Atsude Selvedge
With the 17 oz. Atsude Selvedge fabric, Realign Denim added a new and heavier denim to their selvedge lineup. Woven from slub yarns in Kojima, Japan, this fabric boasts a unique character and a typically Japanese structure. The loosely woven heavyweight is surprisingly comfortable, giving a surprisingly comfortable selvedge experience from day one. The rope-dyed slub yarns add oceans of depth to the 17 oz. Atsude Selvedge denim and help produce fantastic high-low contrast fading. Given enough time and wear, this denim will become a true showstopper!
Regular Kenji 14.5 oz. Osaka Denim
The 14.5 oz. Osaka Denim takes us back to the early days of Japanese denim. With its hairy and structured surface, Osaka Denim draws both hand and eye thanks to its eye-catching pink selvedge line and its beautifully deep and dark blue color with a gray cast. Although the fabric comes unwashed, it is soft and comfortable from day one. Easy to wear for long stretches, the 14.5 oz. denim is primed for beautiful all-over fades. The perfect mid-weight denim for all-year-round wear, Osaka Denim will be the perfect introduction to the world of well-made selvedge for raw denim newcomers!
Realign’s “Our Ode to Japanese Denim” represents an entirely new chapter for the brand. It is their biggest release to date, and all three new pairs are now available in their webstore. Each pair of jeans is handcrafted following traditional Japanese techniques and designed for longevity and for breathtaking fades.
