What to know about F.O.B FACTORY

Made where Japanese denim began

Founded in 1995 in Kojima, Kurashiki, and produced domestically with local craftspeople rather than outsourced — the Okayama textile district is the whole basis of the label.

Old machines do the work

Vintage shuttle looms, traditional dyeing, older sewing machines and hand-washing are used to build texture and fade into the garment before you wear it.

Reference stock: Americana and military

The range is selvedge jeans, chore coats, fatigue trousers, shirting and light outerwear, drawn from vintage workwear and military issue but cut cleanly.
