A belt-​loop stitched to a waist­band, for extra strength.

Like the mighty Iron Heart IH-634S, they’re based on the 1955 Levi’s cut, though prob­a­bly not too closely, as Levi’s sued Iron Heart and other Japan­ese repro brands last year for trade­mark infringe­ment. Unlike the IH-634S, which is made of incred­i­bly hefty 21oz selvedge denim, the TWHR01 comes in a rel­a­tively light­weight 13oz selvedge, though it’s woven on the same 30” Riki-​Shokki—that’s Japan­ese for “power loom”—and from the same long-​fibre cotton.

Some more nerdy details:

• Goatskin leather patch
• Hidden rivets
• Donut buttons
• Button fly
• Selvedge detail­ing inside the watch pocket and the fly con­struc­tion of the jeans
• Two colour stitch­ing throughout
• Extra-​heavy twill pocket bags
• Half-​lined rear pockets
• Belt loops stitched into waist­band for extra strength

And if you order now, you can get an optional crotch rivet free of charge. Yes, you read that right, an optional crotch rivet!
