EXTREMELY RARE, COVETED DENIMThis super fine 14oz selvedge denim is very raw, unsanforized woven by vintage TOYODA G3 Shuttle Loom. The denim is unique, characteristic, feeling the slub and nep because its warp yarn was woven with very low tension.
TOYODA (TOYOTA) G3 MACHINEThe denim is woven using the restored vintage TOYODA "G3" type shuttle loom that was originally invented in 1924 by Sakichi Toyoda, the founder of TOYOTA. This world’s first, innovative non-stop automatic shuttle was called the Magical Loom back then. FOB Factory restored this "G3" magical shuttle loom especially for making this denim. ※TOYOTA Motor Co, originally called “TOYODA”, was established as a loom manufacturer.
Only skilled and experienced artisans can operate this very vintage machine and this special denim can be woven only 5 yards an hour. Using the exact same blend of American and Australian cotton back then, FOB Factory totally reproduced the 1950’s classic denim style.
