The Hidden Forts HFD-01 Relaxed Straight in Indigo 13.75 oz. Japanese Selvedge Denim is a mid-high rise with a roomy seat and thigh, straight leg, and wide hem, yielding a modern, relaxed, loose cut for a wide variety of body types. The signature 13.75 oz. Rigid Sanforized Raw denim is a special recipe produced by one of Japan's famed mills, narrow shuttle loomed on a vintage Toyoda at moderate tension in a 7 x 7 weave for a luxurious finish in an all-season jean that will conform to the body for a tailored, comfortable fit and remain durable through years of heavy wear. This deep rope-dyed indigo warp and unbleached natural weft denim will develop high-contrast fading patterns with repeated wear and washes. Industry veteran Gordon Heffner drew on decades of expertise in Japanese selvedge denim to create the perfected modern jean. Hidden Forts denim emphasizes form, function, and wearability, crafted by an esteemed workshop in Japan, with considered proportions, details, and construction methods that balance practicality with character. With each piece drawing from a cult fashion era, the HFD-01 Relaxed Straight is inspired by streetwear silhouettes from the mid-1990s, combined with the current vintage-inspired stovepipe cut, featuring a generous seat and drape-heavy straight leg with a broad leg opening. This cut marries the roomy comfort of vintage workwear with modern styling, which can be worn traditionally at the waist or more directionally on the hips. Finished with premium components and production standards, these jeans come with a laurel wreath zinc button fly, a patch coin pocket with interior selvedge line, cotton twill pocket bags, raw copper riveting, hidden back rivets, a natural heavy-duty Jacron paper patch, cotton stitching thread designed to fade naturally, and a chainstitched waist, seat, inseam, and hem. For the new cuts of staple specialty denim, Hidden Forts represents utility-led construction informed by observations from everyday life, finding its way into high-design, practical garments.
