Built for wear through all types of days
FOB FACTORY
Inspired by vintage workwear, military styles, and jeans, FOB Factory is based in Kojima, Kurashiki, Okayama, one of Japans leading production hubs. The brand aims to create garments that customers will be glad they bought even after three years of wear.
Rugged, Masculine Fabric
FOB Factory uses a 14.75oz original Supima cotton selvedge denim. By increasing the number of threads to the limit, the fabric becomes extremely tough yet molds comfortably to the body. As you wear it more, it fits better, making it durable for long-term use.
Develops Character with Age
Known for "denim that fades like vintage jeans no matter who wears them," youll enjoy outstanding color fades that enthusiasts will appreciate. The rope-dyeing method, which doesnt fully dye the core of the thread, leaves the outer part of the yarn blue while the core remains white. This allows the fabric to fade as you wear it, developing the characteristic charm of denim over time.
Details That Vintage Enthusiasts Will Love
The front features a button fly with custom-made iron buttons engraved with the brand's logo. Unlike typical brass or nickel buttons, the iron material undergoes a unique aging process, where rusting gives it a distinctive and appealing look.
Also, pay attention to the hidden rivets on the back pockets. This detail, once used by Levi's in the 1930s to 60s, is a true vintage touch not found in modern designs. The hidden rivets were introduced to prevent damage to leather saddles and furniture, offering a smooth finish without visible rivets.
The leather patch on the waist is made from deer leather, used in vintage denim. The design reflects the brand's mission to create a lasting connection between the makers and the wearers of the denim.
Customer-Inspired, Refined Silhouette
Based on requests from European FOB users, the pattern has been updated. The rise is slightly deeper, with more room around the thighs and a tapered leg opening for a beautiful, flattering fit.
