965 John Japan Denim Selvedge 5-pocket Regular Fit Ecru'

JOHN 965 - 145 is a denim jean that faithfully reproduces the lines of the iconic Big E models from the 1950s. Designed to capture the essence of vintage style through a contemporary approach, they are made from selvedge denim: the 12 oz untreated Japanese fabric is enhanced by the characteristic red stitch, visible only when the hem is turned up. The Japanese selvedge fabric is processed at a low temperature, preserving its original texture and shape.

The key features of these jeans speak of a handcrafted past and timeless quality. The robustness of selvedge denim—prized for its durability and its ability to adapt and improve with wear—is enhanced here by a gentle wash that keeps the fabric almost untouched.

The fit is designed to ensure comfort and a sleek look without excess: a mid-rise waist and a regular cut that tapers slightly towards the ankle create a clean and modern silhouette. Belt loops offer the possibility to further personalize the look and style.

Details are meticulously crafted: the front closure features branded horn buttons, a distinctive sign of elegance and sophistication. The 20.5 cm hem, a defining element of this model, is finished with a chain stitch made using Union Special machines—a tribute to classic tailoring techniques and a detail that adds value to the overall design. Five functional pockets complete the look, offering both practicality and style.

The money pocket is highlighted with vintage-effect chrome rivets, which also frame the front pockets: these elements are not just essential parts of the JOHN 965-145 design, but details that celebrate the golden age of denim and evoke its original spirit.

On the back of the jeans, just above the left pocket, a red-toned stitch embellishes the area and reinforces the identity of the JOHN 965-145—a pair of jeans suitable for all seasons thanks to its soft yet warm color tones.

There are many styling options for the JOHN 965-145: this model pairs effortlessly with simple knitwear for a casual look or can be combined with a jacket for a more refined appearance. The versatile nature of these jeans makes them a perfect choice for any wardrobe, especially for vintage enthusiasts.

With the JOHN 965-145, Fortela has created a modern reinterpretation of classic 1950s jeans, combining the quality of Japanese selvedge fabrics with Italian tailoring tradition.
