SANCA
A Japanese brand established in 2007. Rather than setting a strict concept, SANCA focuses on three core elements: Made in Japan craftsmanship, the fusion of old and new, and creating clothes they truly want to wear.
Heavyweight Selvedge Black Denim
Crafted with a fabric even thicker than SANCA's signature 15.5 oz denim, this piece has a substantial weight and presence. Initially firm, it gradually softens and molds to the body, developing a unique character over time.
What sets this denim apart is its warp yarn composition. By combining threads of varying thickness—No. 5, No. 6, and No. 7—it creates a distinctive uneven texture, adding a rugged, raw aesthetic. The coarse, textured feel enhances the depth and richness unique to heavyweight denim.
Masterful Craftsmanship for a Timeless Denim
This denim fabric is woven on rare vintage shuttle looms, carefully maintaining a handwoven-like tension. Skilled artisans meticulously guide the warp threads while slowly weaving the weft, resulting in a fabric that highlights the natural beauty of the yarn.
The outcome is a richly textured denim with a well-defined twill pattern, offering an authentic, handcrafted feel. Its organic texture and natural comfort make it a truly special piece.
Features a button-fly front, classic five-pocket styling with hand pockets on both sides, back pockets, and a coin pocket for added functionality.
Playful Details True to SANCA
At first glance, it may appear to be a simple five-pocket denim, but SANCA’s signature attention to detail is evident. The pocket lining features an original "printed slake," adding an unexpected design element even on the inside—an expression of SANCA’s playful spirit.
Turn up the cuffs to reveal the signature selvedge edge, often referred to as "red ear." A hallmark of vintage weaving techniques, this detail highlights the authenticity of the fabric.
Effortless Fit with a Clean Silhouette – SANCA’s Signature High-Tapered Cut
Designed with a generous fit around the hips and thighs, tapering sharply from the knee down. This distinctive silhouette offers both relaxed comfort and a sleek, elongated leg line.
The slightly shortened inseam provides a just-right length, allowing them to be worn as is without alterations.
