<Additional Note>
*We have received inquiries, but if you live far away, we will send you the pants without hemming them once you place your order.
Once you have decided on the length you want, simply fold the hem at that position and secure it with clips or pins before returning it to our store.
Once the jeans arrive at our store, they will be hemmed by COTTLE and then sent back to you.
Today, it's about COTTLE.
COTTLE denim is the first brand released by CASANOVA&CO in the new year, on January 2nd, 2024.
It's called "CTL DENIM".
Among clothing, denim has a strong industrial product feel.
Many fashion designers in the past have been fascinated by denim, and even today there are still many fashion designers who have used the term "denim" to refer to clothing.
Currently, the Kojima area of Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture, holds the overwhelming majority share of denim products in the world.
There are also large factories in nearby Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, where I think a considerable amount is produced.
COTTLE has an atelier in Kojima.
I think jeans are a type of clothing that everyone in the world recognizes, but they're a very special type of clothing compared to other types of clothing.
I mean, it doesn't make sense for the colour of something to change from new when you wear it.
Logically speaking, the basic premise is that the color will fade when it's new, and when I think about whether there are any other clothes that fit that category, I can't think of any right away.
But it's allowed, and that's seen as a big part of its appeal.
Also, the production side of the clothing is incredibly unique; although they are pants, the pattern that determines the shape and the sewing machine that uses it are completely different from other pants.
Denim products are a commonplace presence, but they exist in a completely different world than other clothing.
Among these, jeans are made by various brands, but the reason they are made in a specific region called Kojima is due to unique production characteristics.
From the buyer's perspective, there are so many jeans like this in the world that it's unclear which ones to choose, and I think it's very hard to understand the "differences between jeans."
There are many jeans made by American casual brands and other brands alike, but most of them are made by craftsmen in Kojima.
So what I want to say is, when making jeans,
"The planner"
and
"The person who actually makes it happen"
However, this is different.
My impression is that most "planners" live in Tokyo, Osaka, or other big cities.
It is the "craftsmen of Kojima" who "actually give it form."
So the planner and the producer are different people.
There's one other thing I think about jeans.
The inspiration for most jeans currently on the market, or the image they aim for, is
The jeans are Levi's or a minor American brand.
In other words, the planner extracts some element of Levi's, and then Kojima's craftsmen give it form.
I think this is basically the same phenomenon as with sweaters.
When it comes to autumn and winter sweaters, people often talk about the "differences in materials" but they rarely talk about the differences in their "shapes" or "how they are made."
This is exactly the same as the production process of jeans mentioned above, where many items are planned and produced by different people, and as a result, the same know-how possessed by the producers ends up being standardized under different brands, making it difficult to differentiate them.
Therefore, in order to differentiate from others, the only thing people mention is the "material" of the sweater.
This is a completely different topic, but what I think about the above is that, if that is the case, then I think that planners (brands) should be more open about the producers and draw public attention to them.
I think the era of brands hiding the "production background" that is so important to them is over.
In other words, if the "production background is important" to the brand, I think they should have made that information public, so that work could go to those people and the industry could be aspired to by the general public.
This is why there are so many cases of no successors, and the number of manufacturing sites in Japan is rapidly disappearing.
That's what I think.
But let's leave that aside.
COTTLE's "CTL DENIM".
As mentioned above, in many cases, and it could be said that almost all jeans are made by different people.
And I think that's a good thing, because it means experts are doing their best in their field of expertise, but COTTLE thinks differently.
"We create what we think by ourselves."
We make clothes with this in mind.
This is an important concept for the COTTLE brand, and the brand's atelier is located in Kojima, Kurashiki City.
Kurashiki city has also been known as the "town of folk art."
"Mingei" means "folk crafts" and is a word that was created and popularized by Yanagi Muneyoshi, who is said to be the father of the Mingei movement, around 100 years ago at the end of the Taisho period.
And the person who resonated with Yanagi Soetsu's folk art ideas and devoted himself to carrying on those ideas as a practitioner of the folk art movement was Tonomura Yoshinosuke.
In the Kurashiki Bikan Historical Quarter, a famous tourist destination, there is a facility called the Kurashiki Folk Crafts Museum.
The Kurashiki Folk Crafts Museum also has a craft research institute called the Kurashiki Honzome Hand-weaving Research Institute.
Yoshinosuke Tonomura became the first director, and the Kurashiki Honzome Hand-weaving Research Institute was established as a facility to put the folk art philosophy into practice and to nurture its successors.
The phrase "beauty of utility" represents the folk art philosophy.
This is a phrase you come across from time to time, but it is a Mingei phrase, and it reflects the distinctive feature of the Mingei philosophy that objects used in everyday life have a beauty that is directly linked to their purpose.
In addition, the words left by Tonomura Yoshinosuke are as follows:
"Healthy, lean, serious and unassuming"
That's it.
Mingei handicrafts are made based on this spirit, and COTTLE's clothing production also reflects this philosophy.
COTTLE's "CTL DENIM".
Among the brands,
"UNIFORM FOR LIVING" = "Tools for Living"
It is part of a collection series called ".
As I wrote in my previous blog, Watanabe-san from COTTLE was a very senior colleague of mine who worked at the headquarters of the jeans sewing factory in Kojima where I worked about 10 years ago.
At the time, he was a true professional who had created jeans for a number of brands, from well-known brands to more niche brands.
I think he is someone with first-class knowledge of jeans, even on a global scale.
Furthermore, the clothes made by COTTLE are not just "CTL DENIM", but also "LEAF VEIN" and "GOLDEN WHEAT FIELD CORDUROY" that we have introduced in our store so far, and "EARTH WALL", which we were not able to introduce, all of which are ultra-high quality clothes produced in the Kojima atelier.
An endlessly deep knowledge of jeans, as well as the technique and sense for clothing production.
Moreover, as I said earlier, their style is to "create what they think is their own."
These jeans are produced by a brand that makes clothes in the ultra realm.
As I said at the beginning, I do not in any way want to deny that planners and producers are different.
However, within the unshakable clothing category of jeans, the things that move me are those that very strongly reflect "ideas and techniques."
Wouldn't it be a good idea to use it as a tool for daily life?
However, it wasn't just that kind of thinking that led to the end product, and it is the best pair of jeans I have ever come across in my life.
My involvement in the clothing industry started with vintage replica jeans, and then I moved to jeans production.
Even now, my favorite thing is jeans, and I've continued to pursue them forever.
I've been following them for a while now, but for me, I'd say COTTLE's "CTL DENIM" is the best.
Of course, we are still conducting market research, but the current situation remains unchanged.
I've been using it extensively for a year now and have come to experience the incredible appeal of "CTL DENIM" with my body, skin, mind and heart.
So, this is it, everyone.
Along with Araki Yuu's Knicker Bockers, these are jeans that I think everyone should wear.
That's how it seems to be.
COTTLE
"UNIFORM FOR LIVING"
CTL STRAIGHT DENIM PANTS

color _ WASHED INDIGO
Weight: 11.3 oz
size _ 0(28inch),1(30inch),2(32inch),3(34inch)
"CTL DENIM" is made by combining "industrial products" and "handicrafts (folk art)."
First, let's start with the dough.
As mentioned above, most of the denim on the market is made in the image of Levi's and other American brands.
The same can be said about the fabric, but that's not what COTTLE denim is about.
First of all, the "colors" are completely different.
Compared to other jeans, these are distinctive for their "bright blue" color.
It reproduces the color of the jeans that are said to be "the first made in Japan" from about 60 years ago, when Kojima became known as the "holy land of denim".
At that time, everyone in the Kojima area came together and decided to produce jeans themselves.
From then on, jeans production flourished in Kojima, and it has now become a world-famous denim production center.
In tribute to those Kojima predecessors, COTTLE uses colors that are "not Levi's, but domestically made."
At first, you might think that jeans are all the same color, but COTTLE jeans are different.
And not only the "color" but also the mixture ratio is different.
Original recipe: 91% cotton and 9% linen.
This is apparently due to the vast experience that COTTLE's Watanabe has gained in planning and producing numerous denim fabrics.
He has developed many different things, but even back then he was always thinking about what kind of thing he would like to create himself someday.
Now, as COTTLE, he has been thinking about what he should do in Kojima and what "new, valuable creations" should be made in a world overflowing with denim products. After many years of trial and error, he has come up with this.
The warp threads are made from organic cotton from Turkey.
The weft thread is an original blend of cotton and linen .
The above "warp and weft" have a well-thought-out purpose.
For example, when it comes to denim, some fabrics that are considered high-quality are made with "extra-long staple cotton."
COTTLE uses this kind of "extra-long staple cotton" in other collections such as "LEAF VEIN" and "corduroy fabric."
But that's not the case with denim.
COTTLE's Watanabe says, "The values of cotton are different."
And I totally agree with that. Although it may be presumptuous of me.
That's why, at COTTLE, we think of "CTL DENIM" as a "tool for daily life," and we don't purposely use extra-long staple cotton.
I believe that if you use this product regularly, you will feel the benefits every day.
The reason we use "Turkish organic cotton" instead of extra-long staple cotton is to achieve the "strength" and "thread fluffiness" that COTTLE aims for.
Also, when considering the eventual "color fading," "Turkish organic cotton" is the best.
What do you look for in jeans?
So, the four conditions I would like to suggest for jeans are as follows:
1: The product must have unique originality that is unique to that brand (this is an absolute requirement)
2: It must look good even when it's new or faded (this requires multiple criteria to be met, including the fabric, pattern, and sewing).
3: Being able to wear them without any difficulty (physically and mentally) whenever you want to.
4: It has a reassuring strength
It is difficult to meet all four of these criteria.
In particular, COTTLE is the only one that currently meets and exceeds my heart (standards), which contain many personal theories.
So, if there is anyone out there who agrees with this, then please get your hands on CTL STRAIGHT DENIM and that will be great.
I can guarantee it because I've experienced it myself.
If you are not satisfied...or even impressed, this is what I say.
"sorry."
But hey, there's no need for that, because the stuff is crazy.
So, the reasons why CTL DENIM doesn't use "extra-long staple cotton" are points 2 and 4 above.
Regarding point 2, extra-long staple cotton is literally a variety of cotton with long fibers (over 3.5 cm), but using such fibers can result in denim that is "too soft."
Jeans like that might be fine in new condition.
However, when it comes to authentic denim that has been rope dyed with indigo, fading is bound to occur.
This color fading does not require a strong contrast, but if you want a "natural, effortless color change that suits the owner," it is necessary to give the fabric a certain amount of character.
There are areas where creases will occur and areas where they won't.
This will always be different depending on the wearer, so if you give new jeans some time to naturally shape them, you will end up with just the right amount of contrast.
This also leads to an attachment to jeans that you wear slowly over time.
However, when it comes to denim made from extra-long staple cotton, the process of forming the fabric is necessary, but the denim is too soft and supple, so the necessary creases do not form at all.
Since most people only wear them on holidays, it really never develops a personal style that reflects the wearer's personality.
This can ultimately result in the jeans looking flat and without any shading, almost like a pair of jeans that have been given a simple distressed look, even after several years of wear.
Even though I had worn them since they were new.
These are jeans that you buy because you like them, and you will like wearing them every day.
So I think jeans, which naturally move in the direction of "cool contrast," are ultimately better.
And there is a fourth strength.
This doesn't mean that the extra-long staple cotton is weak, but since it is made of fine fibers and doesn't have much volume, I feel like it lacks the sense of security that comes with wearing jeans.
To compensate for this, I assume they use thicker threads and use heavier denim, but that makes it seem too thick.
The traditional orthodox weight for denim is said to be 13.5oz.
However, 13.5 oz feels a lot too thick for me right now.
When I think about it, this also applies to point 3 above (being able to wear them without any strain), but I think there are times when you have to strain yourself to wear thick jeans.
Also, I don't really like the "paper-like" denim texture found in old-fashioned jeans.
In other words, I can't accept anything that feels over-spec for denim, and anything that is too cheap and flimsy is also a no-no.
Well, there are many other aspects to consider, but COTTLE's is perfect.
It feels great on the skin and has a natural, just-right softness. It's amazing.
That's the 11.3oz CTL DENIM. It's very comfortable to wear, both physically and mentally.
In addition, the "original blend yarn" of cotton and linen used for the weft is also very attractive.
When you think about continuing to use it as a "tool for daily life," the aforementioned "color change" will occur.
At COTTLE, we refer to this as "beautification over time," and based on Watanabe's past experiences, he thought that incorporating linen would be what COTTLE aimed for.
The white neps that appear on the surface of the denim are the weft threads, which are a blend of cotton and linen.
This weft yarn is hand spun and blended to achieve a hand woven look.
Of course, with use and over time, the appearance will gradually change.
The other thing that affects the fit is the weft thread.
Due to the nature of denim fabric, which is twill woven, approximately 70% of the weft threads are visible on the reverse side, which touches the skin.
Based on Watanabe's experience to date, he thought that by adding linen, he could achieve what COTTLE calls "beautification over time." However, on the other hand, if the linen content was too high, it could cause an uncomfortable, prickly sensation on the skin.
By aiming to achieve both "beauty over time" and "comfort," they arrived at an unprecedented blend ratio of 9% linen .
Also, in order to ensure that COTTLE jeans can continue to be used as "beautiful tools" in modern society, the phenomena of "pillaging," "skewing," and "shrinkage" that occur in vintage and replica jeans almost never occur.
The fuzziness is caused by a process called "singeing."
This is usually only done on the front side, but with CTL DENIM, the back side is also singed, giving it that comfortable feel against the skin.
In addition, the "natural stretch" achieved by the spinning method of the weft yarn also comes into play.
The comfort is completely different from artificial polyurethane.
You'll be amazed by the feel of the fabric against your skin, thanks to the linen blend at only 9% and the singed back side.
The coin pocket has "red ochre dyed" selvedge.
This "red ochre dyed" selvedge is extremely special.
Usually, the selvedge part consists of one or a few strands of colored thread.
This part is also completely different in COTTLE.
Ultra Selvedge from another dimension.
COTTLE's Watanabe-san said, He had been developing CTL DENIM for many years , and when he visited the aforementioned Kurashiki Honzome Hand-Weaving Research Institute, he saw a tapestry designed by Yoshinosuke Tonomura.
The thread was dyed with indigo and red ochre, and the fabric was hand-woven, with a pattern that was regular yet irregular .
This tapestry truly embodies the beauty of folk art.
When he saw the hand-woven fabric, it connected with the selvedge design that he had been thinking about at COTTLE for a long time.
The selvedge reproduces the tapestry pattern conceived by Yoshinosuke Tonomura using bengala dyeing, using a never-before-heard-of special loom that is a shuttle loom that weaves the denim fabric itself but is fitted with a jacquard device for selvedge .
However, it seems that dyeing this selvedge yarn with red ochre requires a very specialized process.
First, a craftsman from Nishiwaki City, Hyogo Prefecture unravels the yarn from its lump (cheese) into a bundle (skein) so that it can be dyed.
Next, the fabric is hand-dyed using natural dye (red ocher) in Kurashiki City, and then waxed to increase its strength, slipperiness, and durability.
Although the yarn has been dyed, it cannot be set on the loom in this state, so it is then rewound into a block of yarn (cheese) in Ibara City, Okayama Prefecture, so that it can be attached to the loom.
After going through various processes in various specialized factories, the fabric finally reaches the loom.
It must go through a process that no other selvedge denim would ever go through.
just,
nevertheless,,,
At COTTLE, we are not afraid to take the time to create CTL DENIM, a "handcrafted denim" that is not the usual selvedge but instead allows you to feel the craftsmanship in the fabric, and we are creating the kind of clothes we aspire to.
The above only describes a small part of the original recipe for "CTL DENIM", but it includes the choice of raw materials, the thickness of the thread used to weave the fabric, the color recipe that reproduces the first domestically produced denim, the density of the fabric, and the selvedge pattern.
It took COTTLE three years of research and prototyping to come up with a product that met their needs.
Watanabe says that while the collection includes ultra-high quality fabrics such as Kaneta Orimono's LEAF VEIN and GOLDEN WHEAT FIELD CORDUROY, the fabric that took the most time and money to create was "CTL DENIM."
CTL DENIM is made using a different level of craftsmanship than regular jeans, and it's not just the fabric.
This is also evident in the sewing.
That's "sewing thread."
As you can see from this photo, five different types of sewing thread are used in just this one area.
I use different colors and thicknesses for different purposes.
COTTLE is open about the type of thread they use, which is called UJ Core.
It is a double-layered sewing thread that has a strong polyester thread as a core and is wrapped in 100% Supima cotton on top.
Furthermore, according to Watanabe of COTTLE, UJ CORE has a higher cotton content than other polyester-cotton sewing threads, and while it retains the familiar feel of traditional cotton thread, it is a strong thread that is less likely to break or require repairs even with continued wear.
The most difficult part of sewing jeans is the "crotch".
It may look like normal sewing, but it's actually quite difficult.
This is usually done in a dedicated factory, but COTTLE does it in its own atelier.
This part is also sewn using different thread.
Usually, the sewing of clothes is done in such a way that the parts that are visible from the outside are It only uses one or two types of sewing thread .
With other types of clothing, the fabric and thread are generally the same color, aren't they?
However, because jeans originated in California, there are various theories as to why bright colors were used for the sewing thread, which are different from the fabric itself.
Even in the old days of Levi's, multiple types of sewing thread were used, but as times changed for more streamlined manufacturing, this was gradually standardized.
However, COTTLE uses as many as seven different types of sewing thread for each pair of jeans .
What's more, because the colors are different, any distortions in the stitching work are immediately visible and can't be hidden.
Some people consider the imperfect stitching of denim products to be part of their "character," but I don't really welcome that.
Also, I pride myself on having seen a lot of jeans, and I often see pairs that are made quickly where the stitching doesn't seem to be integrated into the fabric.
In my opinion, I describe them as having "unstitched" fabrics, and most of them are like that.
To put it in extreme terms, it's like the stitching is dead.
But COTTLE's is in a different realm.
The denim and stitching are integrated into one piece, creating a stunning contrast of incredible quality.
On top of that, the stitching work stands out beautifully.
This is exactly what
This is the "handcraft" that is demonstrated in authentic jeans .
This is what a grown man should wear.
Belt loop.
There is a purpose here too.
A clamp that reinforces the top and bottom of the belt loop.
This part "drops" 1 mm from the ends of the belt loop on both sides.
Do you understand?
All belt loops are of this specification.
Aim for the point that is set just a little wider than the width of the belt loop.
Some vintage replicas have only one side slightly thinner than the other, but COTTLE has them cut off 1mm on both sides to achieve the original reinforcement function and a neat, tidy look.
This kind of detail would be impossible to achieve in a product that prioritizes speed.
Authentic front opening, button fly.
The top button has the most detailed design in the world.
Only the buttonholes are sewn with navy blue thread.
The waistband features a classic V-neck.
back.
The back pocket is shaped like a home plate, and to me, the pocket itself looks like it stands out compared to regular jeans pockets.
As I mentioned earlier, there are many jeans that have sloppy stitching or where the stitching seems dead, and in those cases the back pockets also tend to be crushed.
I wonder why this is, but I think the difference comes down to the sewing technique and what the aim is.
COTTLE's Watanabe is someone who really takes the "responsibility of the creator in manufacturing" very seriously, he has intention behind everything and puts his hands into every detail.
I feel a tremendous "handprint."
So it takes a little time to complete, but the finished product is of top quality.
That's what's in the details.
When Watanabe's wife saw the Seto Inland Sea for the first time from Kojima, which faces the sea, she was impressed by the view dotted with islands.
The motif of the leather patch is an abstract design.
At COTTLE, the one-wash models come with a natural-colored patch made of tanned leather, but we asked for it to be changed to brown kudu leather to create a contrast with the golden-brown wrap stitching on the back yoke.
I think it really captures the mood of the thick golden brown thread.
The hem has diagonal puckering with chain stitching.
COTTLE is also expanding overseas, so the length is set a little longer.
For this reason, most customers will need to have their pants hemmed, but once you have determined the desired inseam length, COTTLE's atelier will apply genuine chain stitching free of charge.
This one-wash model has been washed at COTTLE and then dried in a gas dryer, so there will be no further shrinkage.
Therefore, once you have decided on the length you want, you can have the hem shortened immediately.
It will take some time to complete the hemming, but please rest assured that we will deliver the pants to you according to COTTLE's specifications.
These jeans are made within the framework of "authentic jeans" and are firmly committed to "COTTLE's vision of manufacturing."
The inside seam is the most standard specification for denim, and is a sewing method unique to jeans, called interlock.
The outside seam is a selvedge split stitch.
Inside seam interlock (white thread).
After interlock sewing, orange yellow chain stitching is applied.
Interlock is a sewing method unique to jeans that allows the edges of the fabric to be overlocked and sewn together (plain stitching) in one step.
However, this requires a special sewing machine.
Jeans seem like a common item, but the more authentic and carefully made they are, the more specialized sewing machines are required.
・Second-stitch sewing machine
・Rolling sewing machine
・Interlock sewing machine
・Overlock sewing machine
・Special sewing machine for button riveting
・Belt loop sewing machine
・Kandome sewing machine
・Buttonhole sewing machine
You definitely need these eight.
It takes that many sewing machines to make one pair of jeans in a traditional style.
That's why the sewing of jeans is outsourced to a specialized factory, but as mentioned above, COTTLE makes more than just jeans.
All other collections also feature "atelier sewing techniques."
Each and every one of them is of such meticulous quality, it's amazing.
No, perhaps it is because of the people who create such things that even a pair of jeans can be made to such a high standard.
Everyone, please come and see the real thing and be impressed.
And the back.
The back is also finished incredibly beautifully.
On the back, you can see many elements that give you an idea of what the structure is like.
The orange-yellow overlock also features fine stitching and bengala selvedge.
The exposed parts of the Bengala selvedge are stitched in the same color as the Bengala, so much so that it cannot be seen in photographs. Even the back parts are sewn with meticulous care, using a different type of sewing thread.
The pocket lining is made from fabric from a weaver called Ishii Orimono in Kojima, where COTTLE is located.
The fabric itself has a higher density than the pocket lining used in regular jeans.
It's best not to use the front pocket as much as possible, as it can affect the color of the denim on the front, but it gives you a sense of security when you do use it occasionally.
Stylish pocket bag fabric stamps and hand-drawn materials.
Also, you may not notice it at all, but the overlock in this area is navy.
Since this is a part that won't be visible, the stitching is done with blend-in navy thread.
These bengala dyed selvedge are so beautiful.
The back pockets feature the most classic and durable "hidden rivets" design.
This design involved rivets being driven into the pocket opening, a technique that Levi's patented at the time.
In the past, reinforcing rivets were exposed from the outside, but "hidden reinforcement rivets" are details that are now hidden on the inside of the pocket opening.
However, there is a stopper hammered in on top of this copper rivet.
In navy.
Looking at this from the table,
do you understand??
The edge of the pocket opening, and the seam between the body and the pocket.
The back is navy, and from the front there is a hidden orange trim that matches the pocket stitching.
This is cool. This is cool.
Normally, the upper and lower threads of the kandome are the same color.
It's in the details. Seriously.
The way brands do this kind of thing creates products gives an entirely different feeling to the clothes.
I think it would be extremely difficult to pay such attention to detail in a product unless we made it ourselves.
In simple manufacturing, this kind of thing is the first thing to be omitted.
Well, COTTLE jeans are full of these amazing stitching.
There are still some distinctive features.
This is what I mentioned first.
This is what I look for in the jeans I truly love, and what I want to suggest to everyone through COTTLE jeans.
1: The product must have unique originality that is unique to that brand (this is an absolute requirement)
2: It must look good even when it's new or faded (this requires multiple criteria to be met, including the fabric, pattern, and sewing).
3: Being able to wear them without any difficulty (physically and mentally) whenever you want to.
4: It has a reassuring strength
This second one
It must look good even when it's new or faded (this requires multiple criteria from different aspects, including the fabric, pattern, and sewing).
That is it.
Jeans, no matter what brand or type,
"Brand new condition" = unfashionable, unfashionable
This is the image that exists, and some brands in the vintage replica genre even say the same thing.
That's why people who wear rigid or one-wash jeans are all eager to make the color fade as quickly as possible.
I thought so too.
Until I discovered COTTLE's CTL DENIM.
In the first place, five-pocket jeans wouldn't look cool unless the color faded and the contrast of the faded color was visible.
Because it's not a very pretty shape.
So when I first put on a pair of jeans that were rigid or one-wash, I tried my best to fade them as quickly as possible.
When I was in my early 20s, I bought a pair of deadstock BIG E jeans with flashers that were quite expensive, but the shape was really bad and I just thought they were a good learning experience.
They were valuable, but I was extremely unsatisfied with the clothes themselves.
Compared to other pants, jeans have a very different pattern.
The triangular part called the back yoke symbolizes this.
The lower half of this leather patch is the part to which it is sewn.
Five-pocket jeans are made with almost straight lines except for the seat and crotch, and have a triangular back yoke to improve the fit around the waist.
That's why it's so unsophisticated.
However, COTTLE's outline is also of very high quality.
Look at this.
When it's on a hanger, your butt sticks out really well.
It's the best I've ever come across.
Do you understand?
The shape protrudes from the waist to the buttocks.
The pattern of this butt grip and the lines that extend from there to the thighs and legs are superhuman.
So, this below.
It must look good even when it's new or faded (this requires multiple criteria from different aspects, including the fabric, pattern, and sewing).
"Brand new color," "fabric texture," "sewing specifications," and "shape of the jeans."
From these four perspectives, I think these jeans look incredibly cool even when they're brand new and in their dark blue state.
I've worn many different types of jeans, from rigid to one-wash, and I've also sold them in jeans stores, but I've never found anything that was as good as COTTLE.
On top of that,
"Rolled seam on back body."
Despite the extremely steep angle and the outrageous curve, the stitching is applied without any dents.
Even with the seat grooves of regular jeans, it is difficult to sew a rolled stitch and is prone to punctures, but this particular protruding seat groove has been sewn beautifully.
The details combine a modern form that is beautiful to wear with traditional craftsmanship.
From that perspective, I don't think it's easy to find anything that can beat CTL DENIM.
Everyone was so impressed when they wore them.
And here's what it looks like when actually worn.
She is 167cm tall, weighs 52kg and is size 0.
The length is so long when new that I have to roll them up three times.
It's thin, but pretty cool.
However, if you are used to wearing wide pants, this might not be a good choice.
Because it's not that kind of mainstream "fashion sense."
So this is good.
Their manufacturing is based on ideas and they are ahead of the times.
The butt from earlier.
To put it simply, the rise is fairly deep, the waistband fits around the hips and contours nicely up to the upper half of the buttocks.
So, starting from the top of the buttocks, it flows straight down from under the buttocks.
I think this feeling is something you've never experienced with other jeans, especially five-pocket ones.
Because that's what I did.
And then, take a look at the CTL DENIM that I've been using super heavily over the past year.
We featured them in December of last year, but MY CTL STRAIGHT DENIM PANTS have now evolved even further.
A seriously realistic look at my lower body over the course of a year.
I was conscious of how I formed them at first, but after that I just wore them because I liked them.
When choosing the size, I choose the smallest possible size, and if the top button can just barely be fastened then that's the best, so just by wearing them the so-called "beard" around my thighs is clearly visible.
I don't count the number of times I wash it.
These jeans are the product of COTTLE's ultra-high quality clothing manufacturing, so I think I would pay tribute to that and wear them all the time, at work or on my days off, without thinking about it.
Since I made quite a lot of phone calls on a daily basis, I couldn't let go of my cell phone and kept it in my right back pocket.
There is a faint diagonal mark on the back pocket from my cell phone, which I don't like, but I guess it is a modern-day "tool for daily life."
It's something that occurs naturally through use, so I guess it's fine.
Also, in all my years of wearing jeans, I have never developed a crease behind the knee, commonly known as the "stomach crease."
The COTTLE pants also only have creases on the back of the knees.
Bengala selvedge and natural fading of denim.
The chain-stitched hem also has a romantic puckering.
The stitching on the UJ Core also changes color naturally along with the color of the denim.
A natural color fade that occurs as a mixture of dots and lines.
There are differences in density depending on the area, creating an overall contrast.
So, this.
The new product is here.
When you compare them, they are completely different.
But neither is bad.
I like them too, and when I wear them, I suddenly realize they look like this.
No matter how you look at it, the shape is good, and even if you look at it objectively from my usual perspective, I think it looks good.
Well, I think this is pretty cool if I say so myself.
Jeans. Jeans from Kotor.
I guess the ones I'm wearing are still in development.
I loved them when they were new, and my love for COTTLE's CTL DENIM hasn't diminished at all even now.
I want everyone to know this if possible. Everyone. Lol
That's something I can say.
For those of you who have already shopped with us in the new year, we hope you feel that you have made some great purchases.
