Overview

Tagline

Putting the classics to use today.
BIG JOHN SL VINTAGE is a denim line derived from BIG JOHN, a Japanese jeans brand originating in Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. Drawing on the archives of BIG JOHN, whose roots trace back to a sewing factory established by Kotaro Ozaki in 1940, it recreates for the present day the feel of denim imported from the United States in the 1960s. Centered on 12-ounce selvedge denim woven on old-style TOYODA shuttle looms, the line offers classic jeans, trucker jackets, women's items, and more. SL stands for SELVEDGE; the line combines a vintage character with Japanese production techniques.

Concept

Recreating for today's generation the feel of the traditional jeans BIG JOHN offered in the 1960s.

A reissue line focused on recreating the archive

BIG JOHN SL VINTAGE is a reissue line that reinterprets for modern use the specifications

BIG JOHN SL VINTAGE is a reissue line that reinterprets for modern use the specifications and texture of the jeans BIG JOHN offered in the 1960s. It uses selvedge denim made on vintage shuttle looms, as well as yarn counts, processing, and silhouettes informed by that era, focusing on recreating the archive in ways distinct from the current standard BIG JOHN line. In contrast to RARE’s top-tier direction and WILD DUCK’s workwear direction, it serves to re-present the brand’s early denim culture.
