TYPE 2 is one of gourmet jeans’ three main lines, comprising products that reference denim archives from the 1980s and 1990s. Alongside TYPE 1, it forms the brand’s foundational archive-reconstruction lines, distinct in role from TYPE 3, which is identified as the design team’s only experimental line. It is positioned as the mainline that translates the parent brand’s design philosophy of denim for Japanese people into an ongoing product offering.
