Collection: Pure Blue Japan

Founded in 1997 in Kurashiki-city Okayama by Ken-ichi Iwaya, PBJ are a longstanding Japanese denim manufacturer, known for the incredibly textured fabrics employed on their jeans. PBJ makes indigo and Ai (natural indigo) dyed jeans and garments, made to last, and fade over time.

The brand, like a lot of Japanese denim brands, are certainly influenced by American fashion of the mid-century—but they’ve taken that fashion and made something of their own, as you can see from their unique fabrics and product line.
