Unveiling the Craftsmanship of Jacob Cohen's Tailored Jeans: A Fusion of Denim and Elegance

The denim boom has led to an increase in the number of denim brands and items available. As the needs for denim widen in accordance with the wearing occasions and fashion styles, the concepts of jeans brands are also becoming more and more unique. Among them, we focus on “JACOB COHEN,” which is gaining popularity with a concept that overturns the common notion that “jeans = work clothes,” and introduce its appeal and features by model.

The brand was founded in Padova, Italy in 1985 by Tato Bardelle, an entrepreneur who is said to have led several brands to success after feeling the need for a brand to meet the fashion needs of Italians.

In 2003, which later became known as the “Denim Era,” the brand was founded by Nicola Bardelle (son of the founder) based on the concept of “jeans are a lifestyle, and creating comfortable and elegant jeans that can be worn by people who are not accustomed to wearing jeans, regardless of the occasion. The brand was rebuilt by Nicola Bardelle, the son of the founder, and has gained popularity. The popularity of the brand is so great that many people are trying to obtain a pair by importing them from their own country.

What is the origin of the name JACOB COHEN?

JACOB COHEN.” At first glance, the name “JACOB COHEN” looks like a person’s name. At first glance, the name “JACOB COHEN” looks like a person’s name, but some people may be uncomfortable with the fact that it is different from the name of the founder, “Tato Bardelle. In fact, the brand name is derived from a person’s name, but the name has a deep meaning.

In fact, “Jacob” is a name taken from an important person associated with the leading denim brand “Levi’s.” The founder of the Levi’s brand was Levi Levi. The founder of the Levi’s brand is well known as Levi Strauss, and the man who developed the rivet, an indispensable detail of Levi’s jeans, was named ” Jacob Davis. Jacob Davis” is the name of the person who developed the rivet, an essential detail of Levi’s jeans. Levi Strauss” is a Jewish German immigrant entrepreneur, so “Cohen,” the most famous surname in the Hebrew language, was chosen.

The design concept of ” JACOB COHEN ” that differentiates other jeans brands

As mentioned above, “jeans are a lifestyle,” JACOB COHEN differentiates itself by tailoring its jeans to be worn like slacks.

While following the specifications of Levi’s 501, JACOB COHEN has created a beautiful silhouette that other jeans do not have by using Italy’s unique three-dimensional cutting and tailoring techniques. Many people in the industry have said that Jacob Cohen’s jeans have created a new genre of clothing, which they call “tailored jeans.

The jeans are made with the concept of “everyday wear for people who wear high-class suits,” aiming for “denim that goes with high-class tailored jackets” and “jeans that are comfortable and elegant like slacks and you want to wear every day,” so they are very delicately made even though they are jeans. It is also a feature.

The charm of ” JACOB COHEN ” that can be understood by focusing on the specifications

I am wondering how they actually differ from “tailored jeans”. Looking at the sewing, the sides are split tailored, the inner thighs are single-stitched front opening with a button fly, etc., which are the same specifications as those seen in general jeans, and they are made like jeans. The stitching on the hems is designed with chain stitches on the front for a clean look when the jeans are folded over, and the seam allowance is decorated with threads like the detail of selvedge ears, etc., which are different from other jeans.

What’s different about Jacob Cohen’s jeans 1 “Ironing out the “kinks” that create a beautiful silhouette

It is no exaggeration to say that “kuzutori” is a fundamental technique for making clothes. Simply put, it is a technique to create a beautiful line along the body by deforming the fabric with an iron to the complicated human body shape that cannot be constructed with a paper pattern alone. This technique is a special process that can only be realized by the hands of a craftsman.

This technique is rarely used for ready-to-wear products, and is generally used for tailors’ clothes such as custom-made suits, which must fit the body perfectly and have a beautiful silhouette. From this point of view, it can be said that this technology has a distant relationship with jeans, which have developed from work clothes. In fact, it is fair to say that the use of this technology itself is a major reason why JACOB COHEN has become so popular.

The first image below shows a pair of ordinary jeans, and the next one shows a pair of JACOB COHEN jeans. JACOB COHEN jeans.
The first one is a general jeans. You can see that wrinkles have occurred on the inner knees.

Next, let’s take a look at Jacob Cohen’s jeans. Comparing the two, it is easy to see the beautiful silhouette with no extra wrinkles on the inner thighs.

Jacob Cohen’s jeans are different from the others. 2 “”Belt pin hook” is a detail seen in slacks.

If we look at the belt portion in the front center of ordinary jeans, there will be a hammered front button. On the other hand, if we look at JACOB COHEN’s jeans, we can see that there is a loop like thing inserted in the lower part of the belt in the front. By inserting a belt pin through this loop when the belt is fastened, the pants do not sag in front and give a firm impression. This is a detail that is not usually found in denim, which is usually in the casual wear category. This gives the pants a more ” tailored ” look.

Jacob Cohen’s jeans are different from the rest. 3 “Design is also incorporated into the invisible slacks.

Generally, the pouch cloth used for pockets of jeans is a plain white slip, but JACOB COHEN is particular about this as well. Instead of plain fabrics, printed slacks that suit the design of the jeans are used. Tailored jeans” are jeans that impress when you see them, and convince you when you wear them.

The difference of Jacob Cohen’s jeans: ” Delicate stitchwork on denim

When you see JACOB COHEN’s denim, you will probably notice a brighter stitch color scheme compared to others.

In addition to the beauty of this delicately detailed stitchwork, the brand actually uses finer (high count) threads than those generally used for jeans, which gives a beautifully integrated impression even in bright colors. In addition, when stitching with threads of a completely different color from the color of the fabric, even a slight deviation cannot be faked, so the skill of the sewing machine is put to the test even more. It can be said that this is a specification that reveals Jacob Cohen’s confidence in his sewing skills.

The stitching on the back pockets is asymmetrical, reversing the Levi’s design, with hand-sewn, ultra-thick stitching, and other details that show the thoroughness of the design.

Jacob Cohen jeans are different from the rest. 7 “The patches, which are considered the face of denim, are made of high-grade “Jalaco” leather.

The patches are made of leather, and are made of “Haraco,” which is considered to be the most luxurious of all. This is a high-end specification that is suitable for Jacob Cohen and is distinctly different from the paper patches and leather patches that are generally used for other jeans brands.

Jacob Cohen’s jeans are different from others 9 “JACOB COHEN and the fragrance that can be recognized by the “scent””.

Not only the jeans themselves, but also the fragrance of Jacob Cohen jeans is designed. The brand’s image is built up by infusing the jeans with a herbal fragrance called ” patchouli ” at the factory production stage, so that the fragrance itself is recognizable.

The difference in silhouettes of Jacob Cohen’s main models

There are probably few brands where this level of attention to detail can be found in the production process alone. This attention to detail can only be beautifully achieved by a well-balanced design with a firm grasp of the qualities of both ” jeans ” and ” tailored “. I would like to compare the differences between each of such attractive Jacob Cohen’s mainstay models.
