MasterCraft Union Limited Edition Taku Gold Leaf Repair Kintsugi style in our relaxed Showa fit.

This mid blue handcrafted wash has artful and embellished twists added, including hand-done distressing and a 3D finish for a vintage worn feel along with gold leaf thread repair, which celebrates the art of Kintsugi or 'beautiful imperfection'. The embroidered gold circle on the wearer's thigh is a mid 20th century vintage workwear detail, but it is a nod to Japans circle of the sun, symbolised in red on the Japanese flag. For MCU, it represents 100% made in Japan artisanal jean.

The fabric is a 13oz indigo selvedge denim woven on narrow looms by an expert local mill in Kojima.

Our Showa fit is a relaxed, loose fit leg profile. Inspired by 1940s loose workwear styles, but updated with a slightly flared hem that gives a contemporary look.

It has an 11" regular rise and a leg opening of 19".
