Rye Mugi Denim 908 Work Vest

The front panel is made from Rye Denim, while the back panel features the soft, gently worn-in feel of Mont-petit Denim. With four pockets on the outside and two on the inside, this vest is both functional and easy to move in—an essential piece for those who appreciate utility and craftsmanship. 

Rye denim is a fabric that can be worn year-round. It has a slightly lighter weight and thinner feel, yet carries the rich character of heavyweight denim. Despite its textured appearance, it remains unexpectedly light and breathable. To achieve its distinct look, we carefully balanced the thickness of both the warp and weft threads, weaving the fabric with a rustic, open texture. Every detail—from the weave to the final color—reflects 45R’s dedication to Japanese craftsmanship.
