TYPE 1 is one of the three core lines that make up gourmet jeans. It carries the brand’s basic approach of using denim classics created in the 1980s and 1990s as design sources and reworking them to suit Japanese body types. Alongside TYPE 2, it forms the main archive-referencing line; unlike the experimentation represented by TYPE 3, its role is to present classic designs from the past as contemporary products. It is a line that forms the core of the brand, centered on denim pants.
