Okayama Denim, a Japanese web store that offers Selvege denim of the highest quality that's produced in a region widely known for its specialized material that can't be found anywhere else, has teamed up with Japan Blue for a unique yet classic series of apparel and accessories, dubbed 'Sapphire Slub.'
Throughout, the high-end jean material makes up traditionally denim pieces like jackets and pants, as well as a flat-brimmed baseball hat which features a large capital "J" on the center of its front. More branding from both Okayama Denim and Japan Blue complements the other pieces too, however in a way that's more subtle by implementing it on tags on lesser-seen parts of the apparel. .
