Fortela - John D400 Denim

Fortela's John D400 Denim jeans are a best-selling model that seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with modern style. Made from 13 OZ Japanese selvage denim, these jeans are crafted using ancient shuttle looms that intertwine the horizontal and vertical threads, resulting in a fabric of authentic vintage inspiration. The intermediate wash with white paint stains adds a unique, worn-in look that speaks to the jeans' artisanal nature.

Handcrafted in Italy, the John D400 Denim jeans utilize Union Special sewing machines from the 1930s and 1940s, providing each pair with a distinctive signature of times gone by. The contrasting red thread of the selvage, visible when the hem is turned up, not only embellishes the fabric but also serves a functional role by preventing fraying and unraveling.

The medium-rise waist and regular fit ensure comfort and versatility, making these jeans suitable for various body types. The straight leg design offers unrestricted movement, while the logoed tack button closure and metal rivets enhance durability. The 5-pocket design includes two front pockets, two back patch pockets, and a money pocket inside the right front pocket.

The chain stitch hem creates an irregular texture and a cord effect, twisting on itself after washing, adding to the jeans' aesthetic appeal. The orange Fortela stitching on the back, above the right back pocket and under the belt loops, is a hallmark of the brand, symbolizing the garment's history and its ability to age gracefully with the wearer.

These jeans are incredibly versatile, pairing well with both formal and casual attire. They can be worn long or turned up, complementing moccasins, sneakers, ankle boots, or lace-ups. The John D400 Denim jeans effortlessly blend with various styles, from optical white looks to contrasting dark elements, and can be paired with sweatshirts, shirts, polo shirts, blazers, pullovers, or cardigans.

The John D400 Denim is a perfect fusion of Japanese fabric refinement and high Italian tailoring, inspired by the timeless classic of men's clothing. It is designed for the elegant man who appreciates vintage 1950s style and seeks distinctive, classy garments that can be worn confidently in any context. These jeans are a testament to Fortela's commitment to quality and style, offering a piece that transcends trends and embodies timeless elegance.
