Have the player of understanding to PRPS jeans, should know, its home with " violent bath " celebrated, mark of tattered, dated, rust is full of stains or spots. . . But your scarcely knows, the bath jeans brand of this famed world, advocate manage person DH objects strongly what ever sufferred a partner in the beginning of build, and the first batch of jeans that PRPS rolls out are not the violent bath ox that suffers player self-identity greatly nowadays, however unbleached jeans. . . Li of story with all and fantastic face around move DH develops. . .
DH is one of businessmen of jean of the first batch of use Japan of American. His passion to Vintage, have original opinion to the change of the understanding of Japanese jean and bull-puncher market.
With Japanese jean the factory talks things over
Old before, because DH wants to be a world cup to the design is subdued and go to the company that seeks London, below now and then opportunity, he entered to call Duffer St. The shop of George. The boss of this inn is bull-puncher confuses a Japan, he reachs the area after Japanese jeans cuts off red flag mark the shop of own London sells. Generate the idea that wants oneself to make the jeans after DH sees these jeans. To find first-rate manufacturer, he arrived ridge hill island.
Jean produces the factory of sew of business, clipping, bath plant, DH visits these manufacturer one year for many times. However, japanese manufacturer comes from American businessman to be full of suspicion to this however, they fear DH can be done too greatly, too commercialize. Finally, what DH promises Japanese to be able to carry the jeans is high quality, and sell in high-end shop only; It is the a bit most important to still have, the fabrics production of the jeans, sew and bath must finish in Japan.
(at that time, although Japan has a lot of answer engrave former Niu Xiaogong to manage, but still look for their generation to be versed in without abroad brand. )
Make in Japan sell to the United States in carry next, must hold high end high quality, these are the reasons with PRPS breathtaking price. But DH says, want to tell consumer, shopkeeper, market, why PRPS jeans sells so expensive very difficult really, because there still is not the product with the type on the market at that time.
Japan is made, thrum, chain line is slash, the stale after bath floats yellow, smear full of stains or spots, damaged is patchy, began somebody to see value from which slowly.
(the Japan at that time is made and the China nowadays is made same by person look down upon. )
Beguiling partner
The DH at that time already had very welcome and special Akademiks of commercialized street dress brand, and answer quarter bull-puncher is to compare the brim to change, quite " blame mainstream " dress, when telling a partner idea when DH so, the partner overruled him consistently, firm ground says unworkable.
DH insists to want to make PRPS jeans, be determined to want to bring back them the United States. Then he lets Japanese factory continue to produce, send his own office finished product. Next he and wife carry these jeans to European Duffer St. The top class department store such as George, free general merchandise sells.
DH was hiding the truth from partner on the sly to start PRPS, return the United States to just tell a partner he rolled out PRPS in Europe, received the order that comes from top class department store. The partner is open-eyed, accepted the decision of DH eventually.
DH says he is a bit tricky with meanness, but the resourcefulness that bilks him completely, PRPS just is able to come out.
Arrive from primary colors bath
What the first series that knows PRPS without the person almost rolls out basically is unbleached ox, design designs the union that is based on Italian Second World War and American Second World War, still include the bull-puncher jacket of style of military affairs of a few M-Style. PRPS the first batch of work are major is former ox, also a few pass gentle full.
The bath ox of PRPS appears in the 2nd season. DH saw sew bath works of collaboration at that time, undertaking a few very the bath development of cruel, carried the jacket of a lot of war a particular year that he collects and jeans, let factory model be modelled on. Fall the paragraph color that reachs jacket, jeans to go up to duplicate with damaged.
Reveal when finished product come out, people sees is that time not just answer quarter article, still have the mark that passes countless years burnish. Since that day, DH begins to make bath jeans.
(but unfortunate is, the raw material of DH concentration, Japan is made, thrum these important information, lost in flowery bath. )
Since rolled out bath jeans, the brand erupted, the product of PRPS spreads all over world each district now, still distributed 3 brands line: Masterstroke is Prps Noir, deputy line to be Prps Goods for line of Prps Japan, high end&Co. .
Prps Made In Japan

Violet edge cloth
Besides choosing the Zimbabwe cotton that comes from Africa, the biggest characteristic of PRPS is violet ear. The Cone Denim jean factory of American tradition carried out red edge cloth (bare ear) , DH wants to do a few representative things, chose the purple that means imperial family in Japan then, with the red edge cloth that at divisional Japan other cloth factory produces.
(hind few part product adopts red limit this)
A little strange thing often has been jumped over more
There once was a car that the name is Daytona 1969, speed per hour is 200 miles / hour, ceng Mo wins American NASCAR match several times. The car end of Daytona contains a small wing, the car that contains wing like is same, the Logo that this is PRPS -- pestering gauze beetle to wear the provenance of the cherub of crutch.
Brand catchword " BRUISED, NEVER BROKEN " , be cherub place delegate, although the jeans is used extensively, although its incomplete is extremely old, damaged extensive is yellow, still have its use. It is not you still drop the thing that can forget, it is written full your individual character and memory. Although bruise again and again, however never undone.
Brand name PRPS is the abbreviate of Purpose, those who point to is jean wear away, use the life end of the person that the description apparels.
Detail decides success or failure
DH makes real jeans restoring ancient ways in ground of do one's best all the time. He can spend a lot of time to be on design plot, coach personally to the factory next. Old jeans of every PRPS copy imitates the real quality of the jeans that often wearing meticulously to fall, each hole, besmirch, wear away, Mao Bian is unique.
Besides violent bath, can let PRPS show itself in numerous and high grade jeans brand, it is the delicate place of these jeans detail. Go up like pocket money bag, the platoon is buckled or the thrum on the leather belt annulus of slide fastener inside and back, or before of the line in the pocket and consolidate hind bag.
PRPS ovation, outside the data that besides its the concept of brand backside, place uses and craft, DH amid is producing very main effect. Nowadays, he leaves the brand that he makes single-handed, what kind of effect will cause to PRPS?
Leave in DH before long, bull-puncher stylist and bull-puncher expert Mattia Donadi are appointed to be the new originality chief inspector of PRPS.
