《About our denim》

Our denim is slowly woven by a power loom of the 1960s at tamaki niime's Lab. We offer seven types with different colors and textures.

KING
Made with selected threads which made from an arrange winder, a deep sensed denim.

QUEEN
Denim that is cut at the color switching points and to enjoy the colored threads.

5/1 Twill weave
The most standard denim. Skip a lot of threads that intersect vertically and horizontally to make it softness and volume.

5/1 day and night weaving
Denim that allows you to enjoy the contrast of two colors by alternately reversing the structure of the front and back.

5/1.3/3 Twill weave
Denim that gives a sense of vividness and elasticity.

8/4 Twill weave
Denim that is woven more softer and more vividly.

11/1 Twill weave
Pursuing softness to the utmost limit. Comfortable and voluminous like sweat fabric.

gozi
We arranged twill weave originally which is rarely seen in denim. By using colored yarns for the warp yarns and adjusting the way the yarns are skipped, a diamond pattern with a rich expression is created.

une
A new frontier of deniime, born by trying plain weave. It looks like there are mountains and valleys on the fabric, so we named it une meaning ridge. If we weave it in one color, you can feel the "ridge" to the touch, and if we use bright colored threads on the lining, the "ridge" will appear. It looks hard, but the back side which touch your skin is soft.

Sashiko
This is the softest denim we’ve ever made. Based on a twill weave, the weft yarns are placed firmly on the surface so that the colors take center stage. We have pursued a shape, size, and arrangement that looks beautiful. Like embroidery, it’s a denim which has a hand-crafted look with the colors taking the lead.

K denim
We made the simple twill weave changed to a crafty look and feel by adding bumpy slub yarn. It has crisp and cool touch so perfect for spring and summer. The "K" in K Denim stands for firefly. The small patches of indigo appear like fireflies in the night sky.

∞ mugen
By focusing on "softness" to the fullest, we have created a pair of denim that is both easy and cool. Thick yet light and gentle to the touch. By incorporating horizontal double weave, which joins two pieces of fabric based on twill weave, and creating fine grounding points, the fabric has the elasticity of a knit. Stretchy and soft, exceeding the limits of conventional denim. Fabrics that combine slub yarn with non-twist yarn are also available.

midare
In true tamaki niime fashion, we have crafted 'midare' a new denim fabric with irregular herringbone weave. Over time the pattern becomes more distinct and the texture evolves with wear. Perfect for denim enthusiasts or those seeking something unique, and even first-timers looking for something with a bit of character.

White
5/1 twill weave using white warp threads. You can enjoy different colors from indigo.
