The Big John M114J IVY belongs to the latter. Crafted in Okayama from authentic Japanese selvedge denim, it combines one of Japan's richest denim traditions with a clean, modern tapered silhouette that only gets better with age.
A Modern Interpretation of Classic Ivy Style — Crafted in Japan Since Denim began there.
The M114J IVY draws its inspiration from the Ivy League aesthetic that became highly influential in Japan during the 1960s. Rather than simply recreating a vintage fit, Big John refined the proportions for today's wearer.
The result is a comfortable silhouette with slightly more room through the hip and thigh before tapering cleanly below the knee. It feels relaxed without appearing oversized and pairs equally well with heritage boots, loafers or minimalist sneakers.
Woven from authentic Japanese selvedge denim in Okayama, the fabric is built to age naturally. Every crease, fade and whisker develops through wear, creating a pair of jeans that becomes increasingly personal over time.

Why We Selected It
At L'Atelier Monsieur, we appreciate products that have earned their reputation through craftsmanship rather than marketing.
The M114J IVY reflects exactly that philosophy. It comes from one of the founding names of Japanese denim, is made in Okayama from authentic selvedge denim and offers a fit that works effortlessly for everyday wear. It's the kind of jean that grows with its owner, developing character through years of use instead of wearing out after a single season.
