KOBE

NEEDBY VINTAGE’s mid-rise slim tapered model “KOBE”.
One of the slimmer silhouettes within the brand, it refines the rugged character of vintage denim while enhancing a clean, leg-lengthening appearance. The outer seam is kept straight while the inner seam is curved, creating a naturally streamlined silhouette.
The fabric is NEEDBY VINTAGE’s original developed material, designed with sustainability in mind. Open-end yarns are used in the weft, while the denim is dyed using the i-Next method. Featuring authentic selvedge construction, the fabric has a solid, substantial feel while remaining surprisingly lightweight.

【About i-Next】
i-Next is an advanced indigo dyeing technology developed to reduce environmental impact without compromising the quality and character of premium Japanese denim.
By enhancing the efficiency of the dyeing process, i-Next reduces chemical usage by approximately 60% compared to conventional dyeing methods, while also minimizing dye waste.
The system also incorporates an innovative water recycling process that optimizes washing conditions and enables water reuse, reducing water consumption by approximately 40%.
Created with a focus on sustainability and responsible manufacturing, i-Next represents a new approach to environmentally conscious denim production — combining Japanese craftsmanship with next-generation eco technology.

【BRAND】
NEEDBY VINTAGE is a Japanese denim brand that sets a new standard for contemporary design values, building on denim's rich history.
Our design prioritizes both softness and selvedge integrity. Through a structure that merges roughness and precision, we create a texture with visual depth, without relying on physical weight.
Our finishing process is not intended to replicate vintage items. Instead, by carefully balancing light and shadow, we express a quiet and refined profundity, based on the philosophy of designing the process of aging itself. NEEDBY VINTAGE launched in the Spring/Summer 2026 season.
