There are two principle cutting techniques that identify
ijin irregular indigo items from traditional jeans.
There are three Ijin Material product types...

The highly specialist fold-edge method cuts the garment open-legged in one piece, centered on the stronger
warp thread of the cloth, similar to the concept of cutting out a paper chain man.
Cut in this manner, the legs reach a near 45 degrees bias point around the knee.
These legs will naturally mould to your shape,
creating an inherent softness even to an
unwashed Japanese weave denim.
Thus, worn from dry, Ijin fold-edge cut legs
will also render your own personal body map
into the denim in a totally unique way.
This process is defined as seasoning.
The fold-edge cut is unique to Ijin Material.

Of deceptively traditional appearance, the second Ijin irregular
indigo product is the most stealthilly cut item.

The wrap-leg method involves cutting cloth with a dead straight, but folded outer leg.
Each leg is composed of one single piece of cloth & has a completely clean-finish inseam,
aswell as the trademark inexistent outseam.
Instead, a hip dart continues on to
become the yoke, as it shapes across
the back of the garment.
These items are composed of only 10 key
pattern pieces, including the 3 pockets
& characterized by the fact that
when turned inside-out, one cannot find
any unfinished seams.
For this reason these items
are nicknamed tubes.

Ijin Material selvedge products purposley presents the classic
red line leg in an untraditional way, whilst remaining strictly
within the realms of a jeansmaker product.
Clear references are made to traditonal denim models
without the legs appearing repro nor historic.

The Ijin old-loom product is focussed on fanatical attention to detail, which fully respects the heritage of hand-made detailing.
Cloth choice is strictly japanese ,chosen as much for weight aswell as its attitude to being worn from dry for as long as possible.
All Ijin Material selvedge denim is rigorously tailor-finished with coloured seam bindings & striped ticking linings.
Well-known vintage details are exaggerated or re-interpreted, like the Ijin sixth back pocket & the extra-wide selvedge: a hallmark essential to a true denim model.
All seams are stitched with a specified cotton shade, & then highlighted by tobacco thread on detail zones.
A pure white vitello label is placed on the left of the belt, which unmistakingly identifies this product type.
