One of the rarer pairs of Japanese denim you might encounter in Europe are the Toys McCoy Lot 135D jeans. The pair is a straight cut with a slight taper, made out of 13.5oz selvage denim. As you may expect from
Toys McCoy, the Lot 135D jeans are overloaded with beautiful details.
This pair has been worn effectively for 2 months and has been soaked twice. One time before wearing to get the shrinkage out of the way, and one more time after 50 days of wear.
It feels a tad heavier than 13.5oz, and has a very rich, deep blue color. The denim is has lots and lots of character, and we can't wait to see the result after many more months or even years of wear. Because the texture is pretty crispy after a soak, the creases set in nicely.

Please note that these jeans bleeds indigo like crazy! Prepare yourself for blue hands in the first weeks of wear, and be careful with light coloured clothing and interior: it
will get stained! The plus side of this is that you'll see results quick, comparable to denim from The Flat Head or Samurai.
