40s in Kibata Loomstate

[indigoeagle]

Hi,

 

which Japan made 40s style denim pants would you recommend?

Unfortunately many Japanese jeans are one-wash. That takes out the sizing guess work but some people like me enjoy the soaking process.

I'm specifically looking for a loomstate pair of jeans, which as far as I know is called kibata in Japanese.

The following makers came to mind: The RealMcCoys, Warehouse, FOB, Trophy, The Flat Head. 

Any recommendations?

This may be a good place to start - the WW2 repro thread:

The Trophy ones you're talking about are these....

They're 50's not 40's style, and use a Talon zipper. The denim on these is really nice, very streaky and quite smooth compared to Trophy's Dirt Denim.

 

Can't speak for the other brands, but these are a very nice pair of jeans.

Thanks for the replies already.I

I'm specifically looking for the kibata/loomstate denim. So, I'm not sure how much of that is mentioned in the WW2 repro thread. But I'll check it out.
