MY BASIC : Authentic Japanese Workwear for the Weekend
Born in Kojima, Japan's denim capital, Spellbound has pioneered authentic workwear since 1981. For over four decades, we've preserved skilled artisans' legacy, mastering denim production from sourcing the finest cotton to perfecting intricate dyeing and weaving techniques passed down for generations. As part of Domingo, Japan's third-oldest denim manufacturer, we pride ourselves on authentic washes, expert construction, quality, comfort, and timeworn longevity.
Present-Innovation Meets Timeless Craftsmanship
Our new MY BASIC Collection for 2025 Spring/Summer fuses workwear resilience with modern weekend comfort. At its heart are our signature selvedge jeans, crafted from slow-woven 12oz denim using our exclusive HK-106G and HK-106K fabrics. These jeans honor classic designs while offering both crisp original washes and lovingly worn-in finishes that tell a story from the moment you put them on.
For those seeking a contemporary silhouette, we've reimagined our denim expertise in wide-tapered styles, proving that tradition and modernity can coexist beautifully. Our dedication to versatility shines through in our lightweight cotton trousers and baker pants, designed to seamlessly transition from work to weekend.
The MY BASIC collection isn't just about jeans. Our outerwear pieces, from robust 10.5oz denim coveralls to their twill counterparts, showcase our ability to reinterpret workwear classics. The standout anorak hoodie, drawing inspiration from the iconic U.S. Army M-43 design, exemplifies our knack for infusing heritage styles with modern functionality.
We've applied our mastery of indigo dyeing across the collection, resulting in a rich palette of blues that age gracefully with every wear. This artistry is perhaps most evident in our rope-dyed 6oz denim work shirts, where the interplay of indigo and cotton creates a canvas that evolves uniquely with each wearer.
What sets Spellbound's MY BASIC collection apart is the expertise of skilled Japanese artisans with over five decades of experience. Each garment is crafted to withstand weekend adventures while effortlessly elevating your style. Our innovative approach ensures that classic workwear designs, from stand-collar shirts to coveralls, are versatile enough for contemporary lifestyles.
We leverage our rustic, yet cutting-edge textile technologies and sustainable practices in every piece. The range of fabric weights – from lightweight shirts to robust jeans – and the inclusion of performance-enhancing blends like cotton-nylon in select pieces, demonstrate our commitment to comfort and durability.
While honoring workwear's utilitarian roots, the MY BASIC Collection embraces modern aesthetics. Superior construction, thoughtful fits, and unexpected fabric combinations allow you to transition effortlessly from outdoor pursuits to urban exploration. Whether it's the nuanced shades of our indigo-dyed pieces or the subtle nod to military heritage in our outerwear, each garment in the MY BASIC collection is a testament to Spellbound's dedication to quality, heritage, and innovation.
At its core, Spellbound's MY BASIC Collection is where Japanese craftsmanship meets weekend versatility – a line of timeless yet contemporary designs that strike the perfect balance between rugged and refined, ready for whatever your weekend holds.
