Shoe-cut jeans
Bobson's boot cut jeans are a modern version of the shoe cut jeans.
The shoe-cut design is easy to match not only with boots but also with sneakers. While boot-cut jeans are narrow around the knees and spread out to the hems, the knees are not narrowed and the hems flare out slightly, just like straight jeans.
The unique silhouette of the shoe cut makes it easy to match the same coordinates as a straight leg, and creates a more unique silhouette than a straight leg.
You can easily try a more advanced silhouette and expect a leg-lengthening effect.
Bobson's shoe-cut jeans shine with the used finish that craftsmen create one by one.
The colors are vintage-inspired, casual - Used color and slightly used color.
Indigo color is a slightly darker color for a more elegant look.
They also add a range of coordination options.
These jeans have a feature that inexpensive jeans don't have.
The shaving process is a process that reproduces the vintage wear creases (whiskers).
The secret to the luxurious look of Bobson jeans is the multiple layers of work that go into the shaving process.
The natural connection of the shaving process to the sides is a sign of a high quality product.
The shaving process is done by rubbing an uneven urethane sponge called a mustache mold inside with sandpaper or a polishing machine to reproduce an old-fashioned look.
The back pockets and fronts have whiskers between the back pockets and the fronts.
The normal front mustache is also made to look three-dimensionally natural by making the unevenness of the mold gentle.
The craftsman's skill shines through in the unevenness of just one millimeter of the urethane mold!
Two-point shaving technique that makes the legs look slender
Look at the shaving process that reproduces the rubbing of the thighs. Can you see that the color has faded intensively in the upper and lower areas?
This is actually a shaving technique that makes the legs look thinner.
The eye is drawn to the intensively faded points, and the legs look thinner. By creating points at the top and bottom and connecting them with thin shaving, we have reproduced a natural vintage look without making the front leg part stand out.
Freehand technique that is rare and possible even among craftsmen in the world.
We have already mentioned the shaving technique, but in fact, an amazing technique that makes it look even more three-dimensional, the freehand technique, is used.
If you look closely at the beard, you will notice that there is a strong white area.
This is because the craftsman draws the strength of the beard one by one, just like painting with chemicals.
Jeans craftsmen in Okayama use a device to make them look three-dimensional even in the shaving process, but in order to make them look even more used, they express shading with chemicals by freehand.
Among craftsmen, freehand is a technique that can only be achieved by those who have an artistic sense, are familiar with the color fading of jeans, and are true jeans lovers.
Craftsmen who can do freehand cannot be found anywhere in the world.
It is said that only the Japanese, who cherish the good old days and feel an artistic sense of change over time, and who have good dexterity with their hands, can reproduce this exquisite vintage touch.
The human body is made up of curves.
We would be happy if you could feel the whiskers created by craftsmen that fade gently in the image of the human body's structure.

Bobson revived the bellbottom in a unisex version.
Both one-wash and vintage bellbottoms are very popular, and some customers buy several pairs in different colors and sizes.
They also have the same real vintage finish as the bootcut, and we chose a fabric with a slub yarn Okayama denim that easily gives a vintage look and a slight sheen that gives them a luxurious feel.
With the most beautiful silhouette design, the pocket position and size have been calculated based on years of silhouette data. Stress-free tension at the knees, which are slimmed by moderate stretch.
