- An iconic and timeless XX model reconstructed by Boncoura designer Hisashi Morishima. While rooted in the classic five-pocket denim tradition, this pair goes beyond the usual workwear feel, presenting a refined character. The Boncoura XX denim is also a memorable model, as it was one of the very first pieces Morishima-san created ( along with the 66 model ) after leaving his 20-year career as a "salaryman". It represents the starting point of Boncoura.
The special “Ikemen” denim is developed from the yarn stage, with careful attention given to the origin and blending of the cotton, as well as the spinning method. By blending different types of cotton, Boncoura makes full use of the unique characteristics of each fiber.
This approach gives the fabric a strong sense of structure and resilience. The 15oz denim is slowly woven on vintage shuttle looms under low tension, allowing the fabric to retain a natural texture and depth. In Japanese, we describe this handfeel as “koshi,” a word used to express firmness with elasticity — similar to the satisfying bite of well-made udon noodles.
While strictly following the vintage XX model’s construction and details, several elements have been carefully refined. The front buttons feature Boncoura’s custom metal buttons. The pocket bags are made from a custom herringbone twill fabric woven on an old shuttle loom, giving them a firm and durable structure. A specially tanned deerskin leather patch completes the design and will age beautifully over time.
The silhouette follows a classic straight fit, subtly refined with a slight taper to create a more modern balance that pairs naturally with a wide range of footwear and styles.
Notes:
“Ikemen” is a Japanese term that usually refers to a handsome man, but here it is used as a playful word choice. The word “men” also sounds the same as cotton in Japanese, while “ike” can imply something excellent or superb. By combining the two, Boncoura created the name “Ikemen Denim” to express a cotton fabric that is truly outstanding — an example of the brand’s subtle Osaka-style humor.
