FACTOTUM will be holding a denim pattern-making event, "JEANS ARE A PART OF BODY," from October 17th to November 1st at the FACTOTUM Gallery in Shibuya, Tokyo. "These days, overseas, the Japanese have come to value the 'seriousness' of the Japanese people, who will perfectly craft 100 pieces if they receive 100 orders, and there's a growing focus on Made in Japan," FACTOTUM says. In addition, the brand produces all of its clothing domestically, seeking the chemical reaction that occurs when Western clothing is combined with the taste of kimono. Furthermore, thanks to Okayama's unique techniques, such as rope dyeing, and its trustworthy staff, the brand has been consistently conducting all of its work, from spinning to sewing, dyeing, and processing, at the same sewing factory in Okayama since its founding. "Even a long-established factory that has been in business for over 100 years, dating back to the Taisho era, accepts the enthusiasm of a young brand and works with them. I believe Okayama denim is not just about the technology, but also about the generosity of its people," FACTOTUM commented.

At this pattern ordering event, you can choose your favorite fabric from around 10 types proposed by the brand and create your own original denim. Not only can you freely choose the fit, but also parts such as patches and rivets, and the price is 28,000 yen. In addition, Factotum will be exhibiting and selling archive processed denim, as well as selling a limited edition denim rider jacket (34,000 yen) made from knit denim.

In addition, to coincide with the event, there will be an ordering event hosted by THE WONDER LUST, a leather brand that offers items that are carefully handcrafted from the initial process to the final finishing touches.
