DESCRIPTION
Fortela’s bestselling JOHN 965 jeans are made from Japanese selvedge denim, a fabric symbolizing prestigious craftsmanship, created using antique shuttle looms that weave the horizontal weft threads with the vertical warp threads to produce a fabric with authentic vintage inspiration. The jeans are handcrafted in Italy, where the Made-in-Japan fabric is worked on Union Special sewing machines from the 1930s and 1940s, giving the garment a recognizable signature with a timeless quality.
The exceptional quality of the trousers is highlighted by selvedge stitching, a seam made with contrasting red thread running along the outside of the leg, defining its length, and visible only when the cuff is turned up. In addition to enhancing the fabric, the selvedge stitching serves an important functional role by protecting the edges from fraying and unraveling.
Fortela’s JOHN 965 jeans feature a mid-rise waist and are available in varying lengths; button-fly, logoed rivets, and a classic five-pocket design. The straight leg falls evenly from thigh to ankle without restricting movement. With its regular fit, JOHN 965 jeans adapt to all body types – neither too loose nor too tight, they ensure maximum comfort while flattering the silhouette. The finish has a strong visual impact, with a chain stitch at the cuff that creates an irregular texture and gives the hem a cord-like effect, which twists upon washing. The signature orange Fortela stitching is embroidered on the back, above the right back pocket and below the belt loops. The dangling thread is a testament to the garment's history, indicating it was designed to age gracefully with the wearer. Pure and pristine white, JOHN 965-253 jeans pair with practically anything. They may be worn full-length or rolled up, for both formal occasions and more casual settings, with loafers, sneakers, boots, or lace-up shoes. They may also complete an all-white look from head to toe, while they’re perfect when paired with darker elements for contrast. They tone down more lively patterns and vibrant colors, effortlessly combining with both elegant and casual pieces like sweatshirts, button-down shirts, polos, blazers, pullovers, or cardigans.
JOHN 965 jeans, the perfect fusion of a refined Japanese fabric and high-level Italian tailoring, are inspired by some of the most spectacular, practical and laid-back pieces of clothing ever – classic of men's fashion that have stood the test of time and exude sex appeal in every detail. Historically-minded but never ordinary, JOHN 965 jeans are a must for today’s man of distinction, who is drawn to 1950s vintage styles while living firmly grounded in the contemporary world, in search of distinctive, new yet timeless clothing to wear confidently in any context.
