First Impressions: I love this fabric, it is very similar to the fabric used on Naked & Famous’s Elephant 5. Solid construction and clean stitching. If you are just getting into raw Japanese denim, Japan Blue should definitely be one of your first buys.
Fit: The waist fits but the top block and thighs are very tight. A slight taper from the knee to hem. I personally prefer the High Tapered fit from JB. That cut has enough room in the top block and thighs and a stronger taper from the knees to the hem.
