What usually gives out
The jeans that had finally molded to your shape rip between the thighs.
Always in the same spot: the crotch, then the bottom of the pockets. And we throw away a garment that is still good everywhere else.
What we’ve done against
We reinforce what gives way in advance.
Reinforced crotch, lined back pocket bags, copper rivets at stress points. Chain-stitch assembly on a Union Special machine, 100% cotton thread: everything remains repairable.
What indigo will tell
In three years, it will look only like you.
Okayama indigo wears in at the rhythm of your movements: honeycombs behind the knees, whiskers at the hips, the mark of your wallet. No one else will have the same one.

Men's straight jeans, the 3320 cut
The American work jean of the 1940s was indigo out of necessity. Our 3320 cut keeps its logic and its silhouette: high in the rise, straight in the leg, easy without being loose. These men's straight jeans do not follow the trends of the season; they fall over any shoe, from work boots to patinated derbies, and suit standard builds as well as slimmer ones. They are jeans you keep for ten years.
- Material: 100% cotton woven in Okayama, Japan, denim, twill weave, 14 oz
- Origin: made in Portugal in our audited workshop
- Detail: cold-forged copper rivets at the stress points, stamped Champ de Manœuvres
- Detail: herringbone pockets, 1940s jacquard cloth, discreet and technical
A selvedge woven in Okayama
The cloth is woven in Japan, in Okayama Prefecture, on a shuttle loom: a 14 oz selvedge denim, 100% cotton, in a 3×1 twill. Its clean selvedge shows on the outer seam of the leg. The hand is firm at first; it relaxes gradually with wear.
What the indigo will tell
Indigo colours the yarn at the surface and leaves its heart white. It is that tension between colour and thread that makes the patina: honeycombs behind the knees, whiskers at the hips, thighs that lighten. Every mark is the trace of a repeated gesture. The density of the 14 oz makes these contrasts deep, and the jeans will soon look like no one but the person who wears them.
A repairable construction
Nothing is decorative. The assembly is chain-stitched on an Union Special, which gives the bottom that characteristic wave. The copper rivets, cold-forged and stamped Champ de Manœuvres, hold the stress points. The pockets are cut from a jacquard herringbone inspired by the 1940s. The crotch is reinforced, the back pocket bottoms lined, the fly finished with a bias binding and the waistband chain-stitched.
Cut and sizing
Easy straight cut: take your usual size. The inseam is 80 cm (31.5 in) on all sizes, from 28 to 38. In size 32, the half waist is 43 cm and the thigh 34 cm. The 14 oz denim is unsanforised: it can shrink by 1 to 1.5 cm at the first wash.
How to wear men's straight jeans
With a work jacket or a raw denim jacket for a total denim look. With a henley and ankle boots. The 3320 cut also comes in black, rinsed ecru and salt and pepper.
Care
Wash them as rarely as possible: that is what builds the patina. Air them between wears. When needed, 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and alone the first few times, because indigo bleeds. Air dry in the shade, never in a tumble dryer.
Patina and durability
In three years, this indigo will have drawn your gestures.
It is the house's reference jean: our 3320 cut, high in the rise and straight in the leg, in a 14 oz indigo selvedge woven in Okayama. Indigo colours only the surface of the yarn and leaves its heart white. Every rub reveals it a little more. Here is what this indigo will tell, month after month.
-
deepest indigo, firm cloth: the denim bears no mark yet.
-
it relaxes at the fold points and begins to follow your silhouette.
-
movement creases set in: they are what will draw the patina.
-
cold, inside out and as late as possible, to keep the contrast that is building.
-
edges, pockets and borders lighten, while the blue stays deep elsewhere.
-
the fold zones contrast sharply: marks that look like no one but you.
-
one year: pale blue at the wear points, dense indigo in the protected areas.
-
the denim is supple but keeps its hand; the seams hold the tension.
-
nearly three years of lived indigo; a snag is mended in the workshop rather than replacing the piece.
There is the jean you replace every year, and the one you keep ten years. This one is made for the second category: an Okayama cloth, copper rivets, herringbone pockets, and a workshop in Toulouse for the hem and repairs. If you were to own only one pair of jeans, it would be this one.

A pair of jeans that eventually tells your story.
Et si ça cède quand même
L’atelier le reprend.
Ailleurs, on coud une pièce par-dessus. À Toulouse, la Singer 47W70 reprend la toile point par point, en remplissage : la réparation se fond dans la matière et la pièce repart pour des années.
There’s the pair of jeans you replace every year, and the one you keep for ten.

We are here to help you

Our garments are crafted from exceptional materials (Japanese selvedge denim, French wool from Tournier, etc.) and assembled on vintage machines.
Each piece is designed to last, evolve, and develop a patina over time. Our fabrics are developed to measure: we design our own weaves and have them produced in the world's finest mills (Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Morocco), often on antique looms. This process can take up to a year to perfect a new fabric.
It is this level of commitment to excellence that defines the uniqueness and quality of Champ de Manoeuvres.
