It’s time for our first giveaway with our latest Heddels+ partner, Okayama Denim. We’re stoked to be in cahoots with the esteemed Japanese denim retailer, and to make things even sweeter for our Heddels+ readers we’re giving away some amazing raw denim: The ODJB001 18oz. “Sapphire Slub” Selvedge Jeans. These jeans are exclusive to Okayama Denim and made in partnership with Japanese denim legends, Japan Blue, and are some of the prettiest blue (very blue) jeans we’ve ever seen.

Let’s break down this incredible Collect Mills-made 100% cotton fabric: Heavyweight 18 oz. indigo-dyed denim, with contrasting warp and weft yarns — deep indigo and sapphire respectively. It’s slubby in texture, as the name suggests, and because of those sharp sapphire blue weft yarns, these will fade a textured electric blue unlike anything else in your denim pile.

The Sapphire Slub jeans are cut with a high-rise andtapered fit, perfect for those who love a form-fitting jean that hugs the hips comfortably. They come fashioned with all your favorite 5-pocket jean details, including a red selvedge ID, Japan Blue antique brass button fly, antique brass rivets, indigo-dyed sashiko-reinforced pocket bags, and a commemorative heavy cowhide Tochigi leather patch.

As always, all you gotta do to enter to win is be subscribed to Heddels+, and we’ll take it from there. Sound off on our community Discord and let us know how badly you need some Sapphire Slub in your life!
