The PRPS Japan line is all about producing quality denim for men (we know ladies, we’re jealous too). It’s easy to call something is “quality denim,” but we have the proof for you right here. You can see how much detail goes into each pair of jeans by the actual creator and owner of the brand, Donwan Harrell. His personal involvement with the design and production is obvious in meticulous planning, wearing, distressing, and detailing—just check the sketches below! These broken-in, working-class inspired jeans have an urban edge and a rock’n'roll quality that makes them hard not to love. After all, they take denim back to its roots, and these particular styles look like they could each be 20 years old. This line is full of staples that are sure to last as your go-to favorites for years to come, gents! Take note.
