UES MFG.CO. - Denim Indigo Shorts [45D-I]

The UES Indigo Denim Shorts are a warm-weather reinterpretation of vintage work pants, combining classic workwear details with a lightweight denim specifically developed for comfort in the summer months. Constructed from a unique indigo denim woven using yarn spun on the Ishikawadai spinning machine, the oldest operating spinning machine in Japan, the fabric possesses a hand-spun character with natural irregularity, softness, and texture that modern high-speed spinning methods cannot replicate.

The lightweight denim is designed to fade beautifully over time, developing the same rich character expected from UES denim while remaining breathable in warmer conditions. Built with durability in mind, the shorts feature reinforced interior panels, heavy-duty triple-needle stitching, and high-quality linen used throughout the pocket bags, waistband lining, and reinforcement areas to improve moisture absorption and comfort.

Vintage-inspired details such as asymmetrical rear pockets, a single flap pocket, and easy-access front pockets complete the design, creating a pair of shorts that balances heritage styling with practical everyday wear.
