Papa Nui x The Rite Stuff 10.5 oz. Selvedge Denim Sailor Moku Pants

The Rite Stuff x Papa Nui 10.5 oz. Selvedge Denim Sailor Moku Pants sees our first and second brands at TTK teamed up to create a concept collection built around the newly revived, Japanese-milled Amoskeag 1860s selvedge indigo denim – a stunning fabric with a distinct USMC twist. Using the Daybreak work pants as a foundation, these pants have a mid-high rise and a relaxed leg—not too tight, not too loose, but just right. They’ve added USN patch pockets at the rear and USMC P1941 (P-41) front pockets, bringing a military edge reminiscent of the 1930s Sailor Moku pants once spotted in bustling downtown Honolulu before WWII.

This Amoskeag reproduction denim was recently meticulously recreated from original denim made by Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, the world’s largest fabric manufacturer in the 19th century and also known as the original producer of the denim used by Levi’s when they first introduced denim workwear.

The mill in Japan studied original Amoskeag denim samples from the early 1900s, when denim transitioned from natural indigo to synthetic indigo, and successfully reproduced a rich, deep indigo color not found in modern denim. The irregular vertical slub texture has also been faithfully recreated to match vintage samples. For weaving specifications, they used the heaviest standard available in the 1860s— the same weight classification Levi’s referred to as XX.
