The J201 Circle Tapered from Japan Blue is one of the brand’s most popular silhouettes, crafted from their signature 14.8oz US cotton selvedge denim. Known for its strength, long-lasting comfort, and excellent fading potential, this fabric has been central to Japan Blue’s lineup since the brand’s foundation. The long-staple American cotton yarns are tightly woven to the limit of thread count, giving the denim firmness that holds its shape while developing a rich patina over time.

The fit balances a slim, modern silhouette with comfort, offering room in the hips and thighs while tapering neatly from the knee to the hem. Japan Blue’s signature curved waistband ensures a natural, comfortable fit around the waist.

Key details include a red selvedge ID, JBJ’s original donut button, leather patch, blue inseam thread, and chain-stitched hems. Finished with a one-wash treatment, these jeans are pre-shrunk and ready to wear.
