Big John Made Big ‘n’ Heavy 17 Oz. Heavy Gauge Straight Jeans

Embrace your inner Anakin Skywalker and step over to the dark side with Big John’s 17 oz. Heavy Gauge denim. 

Made in Japan from cotton grown in the U.S.A., the warp yarns in Big John’s M1803 jeans have been dyed an extra dark color with pure indigo dye, creating a temptingly deep tone that offsets beautifully against the lighter weft. The weighty 17 oz. denim isn’t just a number; it’s a robust commitment to substance. These jeans are built to withstand the trials and tribulations of everyday life, evolving and fading beautifully with each wear.

The jeans feature a straight fit and a deeper rise, paying homage to classic denim aesthetics while adding a contemporary edge. Despite being one of the founding fathers of selvedge denim, Big John doesn’t get enough love in my book. It’s a shame, because the quality to price ratio is so far up and to the right it’s practically off the charts.

Available for $180 from Hinoya.
