The item that Arzac Kamakura is most passionate about introducing this season is **AUBERGE**'s "CARIB XX".
What would happen if the "501XX," the pinnacle of vintage denim, were recreated using the finest natural fibers available today? This pair of jeans encapsulates Mr. Kobayashi's answer to that question.

1. The world's finest luxury. Caribbean Sea Island Cotton.

---

The most distinctive feature of these jeans is that they are made from 100% "Caribbean Sea Island Cotton," which has a cashmere-like feel and a silky sheen.

The unique "softness" and "suppleness" that vintage denim from the 1950s possessed—this extra-long staple cotton was the result of Mr. Kobayashi's pursuit of that same quality. It is strong yet feels incredibly comfortable against the skin. The overwhelming lightness and comfort, believing its heavy appearance, will overturn your preconceived notions of denim.

2. Deep insight into "battle models" and an obsessive dedication to meticulous stitching.

Designer Kobayashi discusses the mystery of "efficiency" in battle models on his YouTube channel (AUBERGE official channel).

Normally, "battle models" under material rationing aim to be simplified, but in reality, the extremely time-consuming process of "differentiating yarn counts (thickness)" continued. Mr. Kobayashi viewed this as "the company's stance," and in the CARIB XX, he thoroughly reproduced that meticulous craftsmanship.

• Use of core yarn: We selected the highest quality yarn that allows you to enjoy a vintage feel (faded cotton yarn) while also ensuring strength.

• A complex thread count configuration: thicker thread is used where high strength is needed, and thinner thread for delicate areas. Instead of sewing monotonously with a single sewing machine, we've embodied a modern-day "romance" of changing the type of thread for each section.

In Mr. Kobayashi's report on the fading of his personal pair of jeans, which he has worn for three years, he describes a natural and deep aging process that takes advantage of the softness of the material, rather than forcing the creation of whiskers or honeycomb patterns.

Rather than a harsh, stiff fading, the way it gradually changes—a soft, gentle gradation while retaining its luster—is truly unique to Caribbean Sea Island cotton. After 4-5 washes, its beauty finally approaches its peak, making it like a lucky charm that accompanies the wearer.
