Stevenson Overall 340 Black (Straight Tapered fit)

Today we are launching Black version of the Lot 340 by Stevenson Overall Company. Same design from Mike Hodis, same manufacturing from S.O.C. yet a totally different feeling. The 340 BK is a low profile but still unique and elegant pair of denims.

Utilising the same 13.5oz Japanese selvaged denim made from a special grown medium-long fibre cotton, which is a great fabric both in texture and comfort. Weaved from the 1930's vintage shuttle loom has given the fabric an uneven texture as well. The yarns were dyed in black for the warp and grey for the weft for over 20 levels therefore the black is very rich just as the indigo version, and instead it will fade into a lot of bright grey shades of grey on the surface.

As lot of us have discovered that on the front and back pockets, there is a V shaped arch on each of them, this is not only a visual design, but it also strengthens the stitchings for pocket opening, evening out the stress on those parts and protecting the fabric from ripping. Also these arches were hand sewn by their most skilled artisans using their signature "Single Needle" stitching. Other parts such as the yoke, front and back rise and the inseam were chain stitched for extra endurance and strength. The front inner pockets are made from a very nice flannel and the buttons on the fly also comes with leather padding as all other Stevenson Overall denims. 

These fine details are just visible in other words super laid low, you can spot them only if you look closely. With ageing, they are more and more visible and the entire pair of jeans will be in great harmony. This is the American design made by Japanese artisans, this is what we have always wanted. So come in and try one pair!!
