BLUE BLUE weaves its original selvedge denim in Kojima (Okayama), one of Japan's premier denim regions, on vintage power looms. The slow-running looms place less stress on the yarn, giving the fabric a uniquely full texture.
BLUE BLUE uses vintage power looms because they create a fabric texture modern looms cannot. Based on late-18th-century technology, they run slowly and are far less efficient, but we keep weaving our denim on them in Kojima (Okayama).
For the first wash of your denim, wash it separately from light colors using a non-bleach detergent, as color may bleed.
To enjoy the aging of your piece, wear it often and wash it less frequently. This allows the natural fading and texture to develop, creating a unique look over time.
BLUE BLUE is a denim brand specializing in essential everyday wear, crafted using vintage power looms to create unique selvedge denim that develops character over time.
A vintage power loom is an electrically or steam-powered weaving machine from the late 18th century, known for producing uniquely textured fabric. Despite their rarity, we continue to use them in Kojima, Japan for our denim.
Selvedge denim is a type of denim woven on traditional shuttle looms, featuring a finished edge that prevents unraveling. It is valued for its unique texture, depth, and character that develops over time.
