Americana meets Japanese craft in way which only Junya Watanabe could do it. With a classic silhouette and artisanal details, this meeting of cultures creates something wholly new.

The workwear roots of Levi's denim is evident in every stitch, with the hallmarks of hard graft evident in the reinforced seams and hard-wearing denim twill. Where things waiver is in the execution—what are usually fine stitch lines from a double or triple-needled machine are deliberately sewn in a wonky hand-formed way.

The end result leaves these jeans looking like they've jumped straight off the designer's sketchbook page and materialised into reality.
