We're excited to present a fairly unknown new denim brand at DC4: Denim Bridge. The brand is founded by Shingo-san, a very passionate denimhead hailing from the Saitama-area, north of Tokyo.
Exclusive at DC4Denim Bridge isn't something you'll be seeing in any other jeans store: DC4 is the only shop outside of Japan where you can get your hands on a pair. The jeans are made in small batches and only by two very skilled artisans: Shingo-san himself and Kuniyoshi-san, the founder of Double Volante, which based in subtropical Okinawa.
DetailsIt's very clear Shingo-san puts a lot of love into his creations. This doesn't only show from the high quality denim, stitching and hardware, but by smaller details too. Pay attention to the heavy pocket lining, the creators signature hidden on the size label and the fact the leather patch is covered by a cotton protector. That's because even the patch gets a lot of attention: it's made from Minerva Liscio vegetable tanned leather. The tannery is based in San Miniato, Italy, the heart of the Tuscan leather district. The leather has a smooth, semi-gloss finish. It is drier than leathers stuffed with fats and waxes, so it’s quick to scratch, which adds depth and texture and your patch will age beautifully.
Denim style & sizingThe denim is rich in character and resembles a vintage style denim, this is also the type of fade you can expect. No heavy slubs and neps here. Shingo-san uses medium weight fabric (13.5oz and 14oz) which gets remarkably soft with wear. The jeans are preshrunk and we advice to get your regular size. Please do check if the inseam covers you: this differs per model and ranges from 34.6 inch to 37.2 inch.
The model lineupWe're offering four different models, all made out of 100% Memphis cotton:
BR05 S02A quintessential regular straight pair, created out of 14oz denim.
BR04 S02
A tight straight fit from a slightly lighter, super soft 13.5oz denim. These jeans are made in Okinawa by Double Volante.
