Unique Japanese selvedge jeans
CDM has offered premium denim from the start. We use rope dyeing for unmatched quality.
As a result, our selvedge jeans offer thickness and strength. They age with you, patinating for the long term. This combination guarantees exceptional durability.
Your movements and your build will mark the jeans naturally. That evolution makes each pair unique.
At first, you will have to close the jeans with some effort. They will then relax with repeated wear. That adaptation gives a perfect fit over time.
Denim made in Japan
Japan Blue supplies the best cloths in the world, and we are proud to have worked with them from the beginning. Their commitment to quality and traditional craft is unmatched.
Our Japanese denim is 100% cotton, 14 oz, in pure natural indigo. It is a true o-yoroi, cut like a nodachi, sharpened like a Masamune blade.
It will refine itself through the seasons like the sakura in bloom heralding the next hanami, symbolising natural evolution and timeless beauty. If you want to wear it the Japanese way, we advise taking one size up, or otherwise heading to the Italian model, for versatility and optimal comfort on every build.
Hidden pocket rivets
Above all, we chose an authentic jean, faithful to tradition. This premium jean therefore has this finish inside the pockets, preserving the strength of the back pockets.
The rivet ensures the strength of the openings and the durability of the product. Inside the jeans, each back pocket has two CDM rivets, reinforced with a bar tack on each side in Coats® thread.
Union Special made
The crotch of our Japanese selvedge jeans is assembled with an off-the-arm machine. This technique is very strong and gives a nice fade after a few months of wear.
Finally, to finish, the supreme finishing for a pair of jeans: the chain-stitch hem is made on the legendary Union Special 43200G.
The key points to remember:
- New improved cut: more adaptable to different builds while keeping the comfort of the Berto model.
- Premium Japanese material: it breaks in and patinates with time, revealing a second shade imprinted by your lifestyle.
- Versatile fit: a comfortable semi-straight cut in your usual size, or a closer result by choosing one size down.
Do not hesitate to contact us with any question about choosing your ideal size.
Japan Blue therapy
Our Japanese Collect 14 oz jeans use the 3320 fit. This cut offers ergonomics and optimal comfort. The 14 oz Collect selvedge cloth combines strength and elegance. We make this Rolls-Royce of cloths and its exceptional finishing available to as many people as possible.
Patina and durability
In three years, this Japanese selvedge will tell how you sit.
For a long time, an Okayama selvedge had to be earned: you had to look for it among specialists and pay the price. This one is woven by Collect, a mill in Okayama Prefecture, in 14 oz, rope-dyed. On the first day, it closes with an effort. Then it relaxes and takes your shape. Here is what happens in between.
-
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.
Many men dream of a real Japanese denim without daring to take the step. This is the way in: the cloth of a master of Okayama, our 3320 cut, and a price that leaves room for the rest of the outfit. In three years, you won't say "my jeans", you'll say "those jeans".
Okayama, mon amour
Collect is to denim what Hokusai is to ukiyo-e, an undisputed master whose skill no longer needs proving. This Japanese mill from Okayama Prefecture has kept the selvedge tradition alive over the years, preserving a precious heritage.
We, who did not necessarily love over-fitted cuts, had to admit that the work was impeccable. Compliments from outside came thick and fast, testifying to the unmatched quality of our products.
The cut is based on our 15 oz jeans, perfectly balancing fit and freedom. Every detail lets the garment breathe, like a subtle dance between cloth and body. This intentional space, inspired by the Japanese concept of ma, guarantees a comfortable, natural and harmonious wearing experience.
For example, our model, 1.78 m (5 ft 10 in) tall and weighing 74 kg (163 lb), wears our Japanese selvedge jeans in size 30, his usual size.
The cut therefore highlights the fluidity of shapes and adaptability to different builds, while leaving the body the space it needs to move with lightness and ease.

Our clothes are made from exceptional materials (Japanese selvedge denim, French wool from Tournier…) and assembled on vintage machines.
Every piece is designed to last, evolve and develop a patina over time. The fabrics are developed to our own specifications: we design our own weaves, then have them woven by the best mills in the world (Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Morocco), often on old looms. A new cloth can take up to a year to come to life.
This exacting standard is what sets Champ de Manoeuvres apart.
