With this in mind let's check out the humble yet essential value of the Ijin copper rivet, which comes at no extra expense on every Vintage 6 Pocket Selvedge leg.
And while we are thinking that all jeans have a copper rivet, let's bear in mind that most rivets in commercial circulation are actually not made from copper at all.
Nor do they have a solid die cast nail, that spits out tufts of slow-loomed denim at points of strain, like on the unusual "hangman's tree" fly stitch..
Or on the offset selvedge coin pocket ( tipped on its side in case you didn't notice..)
And also take heed of that engraved white donut button...(not real Ivory; "eco-Ivory" of course..)
The centre nail casing is also made from resistant copper, taking the pressure of bending over those twin spikes, hammered-in carefully at the Ijin workshop in Italy.
Shiney when new, this "Red Brass "denim "jewellery" soon tarnishes to that wonderfully dull & authentic gun metal colour, to demonstrate that "seasoning" ( an ijin term for wearing-in your denim for a long time ) your Ijin denim will actually prove the composition of the rivet to be that of copper.
Count on Ijin coppers, for no extra coffers!
