Rather than treating the period details as decoration, UES incorporates them into the fabric, stitching and interior construction, creating a five-pocket jean that feels appropriately restrained while still carrying the texture and aging potential the brand is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe denim is UES’s original 14.9oz fabric, woven from Zimbabwe cotton with brown cotton blended into the yarn during spinning. That custom yarn is rope dyed with indigo, producing a deeper, more substantial shade than UES achieves with a conventional yarn. A relatively low-twist construction leaves more of the cotton’s natural character intact, giving the denim a soft hand despite its substantial weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe yarn is then woven slowly on vintage power looms, creating the slightly uneven surface and natural variation that become increasingly visible as the denim breaks in. UES specifically developed this fabric with long-term fading in mind. The irregular yarn and deep rope-dyed indigo allow high-contact areas to gradually lighten while lower areas retain more colour, producing greater contrast and texture through repeated wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 400-WW draws directly from the material restrictions and simplified manufacturing associated with jeans produced during World War II. UES uses yellow stitching throughout the garment, while leftover selvedge sateen fabric is used for the pocket bags, reflecting the make-do approach found on wartime garments when manufacturers worked with whatever suitable materials were available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUES also pays close attention to areas that experience repeated stress. Raised belt loops and reinforced pocket openings create additional material beneath the stitching, helping protect the seams against abrasion and tearing. Copper rivets, a button fly and a goat leather patch complete the traditional five-pocket construction without taking attention away from the denim itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fit is a classic straight silhouette with a relatively high rise, comfortable room through the seat and thigh and a full leg through the hem. It is one of the more relaxed shapes in the UES denim lineup and suits the softer character of the Zimbabwe cotton particularly well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinished with a one-wash treatment, the majority of the initial shrinkage has already been removed. From there, the 400-WW is intended to be worn hard, washed and allowed to develop naturally, staying true to UES’s philosophy of making garments worth using until they are genuinely worn out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% cotton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14.9oz Japanese selvedge denim\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZimbabwe cotton\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown cotton blended into the yarn during spinning\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustom rope-dyed indigo warp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep indigo colour\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow-twist yarn construction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlowly woven on vintage power looms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally irregular denim texture\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for pronounced fading with wear\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWWII-inspired five-pocket construction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic straight fit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigher rise\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelaxed seat and thigh\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull straight leg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow stitching throughout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelvedge sateen pocket bags\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaised belt loops\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReinforced pocket openings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper rivets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eButton fly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed-line selvedge\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoat leather patch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne-wash finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyle 400-WW\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso available: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/privateandco.ca\/collections\/ues\/products\/ues-17oz-classic-straight-selvedge-jeans-400-z\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"UES - 17oz Classic Straight Selvedge Jeans [400-Z]\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUES - 17oz Classic Straight Selvedge Jeans [400-Z]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShop more styles from \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/privateandco.ca\/collections\/ues\" title=\"UES MFG.CO.\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eUES MFG.CO.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFabric \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e100% cotton, 14.9oz Japanese selvedge denim made with Zimbabwe cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUES blends brown cotton into the yarn during spinning before rope dyeing it with indigo.
