Few people know, but the pentagon of BIG JOHN 's symbol "Baseball Mark" has the meaning of "disseminating jeans that people will love and love to the five continents of the world." In connection with this pentagon, Big John have collected carefully selected organic cotton from five continents around the world and created a special weaving yarn with their own blend.
25% of the European continent (Turkish cotton from Turkey) - Long cotton, supple and smooth, with luster and elasticity
South America 50% (Aspero cotton from Peru) - Thick fibres with excellent elasticity and hygroscopicity
North America 10% (Texas Supima Cotton) - Ultra-long cotton with beautiful silky luster and high strength
Asian Continent 5% ( Indian cotton from India) - Fine, delicate long cotton with oil and luster.
Africa Continent 5% ( Tanzania cotton from Tanzania ) --High strength with moderate elasticity and swelling feeling
In addition to the cotton from 5 continents collected by BIG JOHN, a small amount of recycled cotton (5%) is also used to give a vintage texture. The unique blend of cotton has become a unique raw material that is both durable and comfortable to wear. * OCS certification
Natural uneven thread that cannot be produced by design. The twist is reduced to the limit and the natural unevenness of vintage denim is thoroughly pursued. The denim has a fluffy, supple and rough texture. In modern times, the technology of vintage fabrics has advanced, and it has become possible to create unevenness in design, but with the cooperation of Taisho Spinning Co., Ltd., Big John aimed for a natural texture that cannot be expressed by programming in "5 Continent Organic Denim" .
Being crafters of genuine indigo and rope dyeing, Big John are particular about the indigo colour of genuine indigo (natural indigo) and pursue the deep indigo colour that nature has. Since this indigo does not have a high concentration like synthetic indigo immediately, it is dyed many times until it reaches a convincing indigo. As a result, the deep indigo color that was sought was completed by performing rope dyeing 16 times. It took more than three times as much time and effort as usual to improve the degree of perfection. Focusing on the discoloration of beautiful jeans, it must be rope dyeing that leaves the center of the thread white while producing a dark colour.
Made on a vintage loom with a daily production of only a dozen metres. Using a shuttle loom from the early Showa period, which is rare in existence, weaving is done slowly without giving tension to the warp and weft threads to the utmost limit. It is a heavy fabric - 15.8 ounces, but over time, it will be finished with a fluffy texture with a unique unevenness on the surface. Using high-quality materials that are unparalleled in the world, inefficient but generously time-consuming handmade feeling, warm and beautiful materials. EXTRA - A special original denim. The copper rivet closure gives a sophisticated finish.

Originally the denim cloth used to make jeans was produced on shuttle looms. These produced a tightly woven cloth by passing a continuous thread backwards and forwards. The resulting fabric was narrow and had finished edges or self-edges, hence the term selvedge. This fabric was relatively costly and slow to produce as were the jeans fashioned from it. When the demand for jeans rose dramatically in the latter half of the 20th century production methods were inevitably altered to create cheaper fabrics that could be produced in higher volumes. Shuttle looms were abandoned in favour of projectile looms which were quicker, which produced wider cloth and which did not use continuous threads. Denim now had unfinished edges with a frayed appearance.
