Up for sale here is a pair of jeans from the Burgus Plus label, the house label of the Hinoya shop out of Ueno, Tokyo. Hinoya is well known as being one of the go-to places for denim in Tokyo. They stock many of the heavy hitters, and Burgus Plus themselves have collaborated with some of the big names like Warehouse and Oni among others. The Burgus Plus line skews pretty strongly to the denim and workwear side of things, although they do produce a nice full range of clothing as well. Their pieces are pretty substantial and very well-made, easily rivaling the big names out there. Burgus is one of my favorite labels going right now actually, still largely under the radar, but easily putting out some top quality stuff.
So here we have Burgus’ interpretation of the classic slim fit indigo jeans. This is their 740 model, a classic five pocket design with a slim leg and a zip fly. It is the sort of design that will go with pretty much everything, elevated with a dark shade of indigo blue that will pleasantly develop and fade with wear. Other details include white cotton canvas lining the waistband, custom rear leather patch, custom waistband button and rear pocket arcs.
Size is labeled a 32 and fits true to size. I measure the waist at 32” / 84cm, inseam at 31” / 78cm, rise at 10” / 25cm and leg opening at 6.5” / 17cm. The pants come in lightly used, very good shape with no holes, tears, stains and minimal fading of the indigo. Made in Japan.
Shipping from Japan to anywhere will be $30.
