The key to finding the perfect denim is in the "specialties" of popular brands! Four aesthetically pleasing masterpieces

The best chefs at famous restaurants have specialties that they are so proud of that they call them “specialties. For example, the famous French chef Joel Robuchon’s specialty was caviar imperial. The concept of specialties in cuisine is similar to that of fashion, and there are always items that a brand specializes in.

Start with this model for a taste of Hysteric Glamour’s specialty! Four denim products that showcase the brand’s aesthetics

The first item in the Hysteric Glamour Specialties collection is the “One-wash Straight Denim Pants” inspired by vintage jeans from the 1970s.

First up are the straight silhouette denim pants worn in the styling example above. In addition to this indigo blue, the same model is also available in black, and the materials used are different for each color. It can be said that these pants are a glimpse of the brand’s aesthetics, which is typical of Hysteric Glamour’s extraordinary attention to the selection of materials and manufacturing methods. The indigo blue denim pants picked up this time are made of well-balanced 13.5 oz. selvedge denim. Cotton blended with high quality American cotton is spun into a natural uneven yarn and rope-dyed in pure indigo. This dyeing method is unique in that it does not dye all the way through to the core, and the more the garment is worn, the more the color fades and the more the denim’s unique, richly textured look can be enjoyed, making it an irresistible dyeing method for denim enthusiasts. The cotton yarns are woven in low tension on an old-style power loom, resulting in a fabric with a vintage feel like the denim of the 1970s. The silhouette of these denim pants is also vintage-inspired, with a slightly deeper inseam than standard denim pants, showing Hysteric Glamour’s respect for the good old days.

Hysteric Glamour’s second lineup of specialty items: “RSC processed slim denim pants” that allow you to fully appreciate HIS’s outstanding damage processing technology.

These are Hysteric Glamour’s standard slim pants. They look like orthodox denim made of 100% cotton, but in fact they are made of a stretch material with a lyocell/cotton blend used for the warp and polyurethane for the weft. Despite its solid appearance, this popular model boasts of high-power stretch for outstanding comfort. One of the four selections this time is a pair with hard damage processing. The left knee has been treated to emphasize the contrasting fading of the patchwork that has been removed, while the armpits and right knee have been damaged. This kind of finely crafted processing is truly Hysteric Glamour’s specialty. The damaged areas have also been repaired, so you can wear them all year round without fear, even in the cold autumn and winter seasons.

Hysteric Glamour’s third speciality: “Black denim slim pants that retain their deep, dark black texture for a long time.

This black denim has a chic and urban look. While it is fine to let the color fade to a lighter, grayish tone, if you have chosen black denim, you will want to enjoy its deep tone for as long as possible. In this respect, Hysteric Glamour’s classic black denim slim pants are characterized by the fact that the color does not fade easily even after repeated washing due to the unique dyeing process, and the deep, rich black color lasts longer. With a solid aesthetic in coloring, Hysteric Glamour’s black denim is highly recommended for those who want to enjoy the texture of the deep black color for a long time. The fabric is selvedge denim, which is rare for slim-fit types. The lightweight 11 oz. fabric has excellent stretch and kickback properties, making it easy to wear for a long time without losing its shape, such as at the knees. In addition, the surface of the fabric has a silken finish to suppress fluffiness, giving it a smooth texture.

Hysteric Glamour’s Specialty No. 4: “”The common side selvage! HELL&HEAVEN Applique Remake Straight Denim Pants” with an applique design for a unique look.

Lastly, we introduce a pair of straight silhouette denim pants with “whiskers” on the gussets and damaged knees, which give the impression of having been worn for many years. The repaired areas are again delicately designed, and by remaking them with a mixture of four different colors of threads, the design gives them a deep look. Also noteworthy are the randomly placed appliqués that are typical of Hysteric Glamour. This design gives the pants a unique Hysteric Glamour character that is not found in general damaged denim. The selvedge sides are a nice feature for denim lovers.
