Salty Dog 479-0859

This is my first glimpse into mid-90s Japanese craftsmanship and I am pretty impressed by the construction and attention to detail on these. The first thing I did was to compare the denim with that of Sugarcane 1947’s, and it is quite different because the dye used on these jeans is more of a green-cast dye.

a ‘salty dog’ means ‘an experienced sailor’ (US Navy slang).
