Kapital Century Denim Monkey CISCO Jeans KAP-305A, Sashiko Dot Weave, Brown, Mitsu Factory, W34

The Monkey CISCO cut in Kapital's Century Denim, a brown sashiko-dot weave of cotton and linen made at the Mitsu factory in Okayama, softly faded with wear.

The Piece

Century Denim is Kapital's homage to the slow, irregular cloth of a century ago, and its sashiko-dot weave has become the line's signature: small light floats scattered over a darker ground, like rows of hand stitching. In brown it reads as a rich, earthy texture rather than a typical jean.

This is the Monkey CISCO, Kapital's slim straight five-pocket, here in style KAP-305A, a blend of cotton with linen that gives the cloth a dry hand and a subtle sheen. Inside the waistband the Mitsu factory Okayama label confirms its Kojima-area production.

Details include a button fly with black shanks, a small square cloth tag on the back pocket, and contrast pocketing in ecru cotton. The colour has softened evenly over the legs, bringing out the dot pattern.

Tagged 34 but measuring about 31 inches at the waist, it will suit a 31 to 32 wearer, with a straight leg and a slightly cropped inseam.
