Sweatshirts

The NC-005 (No Change) is a new style recently introduced by Pure Blue Japan that features an Indanthrene dyed cotton selvage denim with the purpose of preventing the color fading their jeans are usually known for. Indanthrene is a water-insoluble dye stuff that retains its color with repeated washing, wear and distress, exposure to sunlight, and in most cases is even resistant to acids and chlorine bleach. Indanthrene dye is commonly used in Military uniforms due to it's high degree of color fasting and it's ability to withstand extreme exposure to the roughest of weather. It's also used as pigments in high quality paints and enamels. The NC-005 denim shares the same weave and slubby texture of the XX-005 denim and will still show slight signs of color falling and distress as the cotton wears thin but will not break down to the light shades of blue and white seen with indigo dyed XX-005 denim. Spec's and details here.Below are examples of the NC-005 and XX-005 denims after machine washing 30 times with detergents and run over with coarse sand paper.
