KsubiRare Early Tsubi Dee Dee Straight Jean Australia Archive W30
Description
Before Ksubi was Ksubi, it was Tsubi — a scrappy Sydney label making denim that felt handmade because it basically was. This pair is from that early run, the "Dee Dee" model, cut with a straight leg and less taper than anything the brand makes today. This is denim from before the lawsuit, before the rebrand, before Tsubi became a global name — genuinely early archive material. Authentication markers present: TSUBI currency-row label ($¥£€) on the inner waistband Engraved "+tsubi+" branded button at the waist Grid icon printed on the back leg — a recognized Tsubi/Ksubi archive-era marker "MADE IN AUSTRALIA" woven tag, with an "RH" stamp indicating Ron Herman distribution — a recognized premium retail channel for Tsubi/Ksubi in this era Signature cross-stitch (+) detailing and asymmetric darts on the back yoke The pure straight-leg silhouette with a looser waist is genuinely different from later Ksubi cuts — this predates the skinny-leg direction the brand became known for. A true straight leg from this era doesn't come up often, and a clean W30 in this cut is rarer still. Indigo denim with contrast orange stitching throughout. Measurements: Waist: 42cm / 16.5" flat (~30" actual, tagged size 30) Inseam: 85cm / 33.5" Hem width: 19cm / 7.5" flat Material: 100% cotton. Condition: genuinely excellent for its age — no damage affecting wearability, fully wearable as-is. A real piece of Tsubi's earliest Australian-made history, distributed through Ron Herman, not a later reissue wearing the name. Ships from Japan with tracking. Size: US 30 / EU 46
