PRPS, the 3 year old denim brand, has become well known among denim connoisseurs for their attention to detail. Made from African cotton woven into denim on vintage Levis shuttle looms in Japan, their productions are small batch but super high quality—making PRPS products often sought, but rarely found.

Also exciting is that they're adding a new, slimmer cut to the line which was previously all about being baggy.

An exclusive first look, Context drops another collabo today, this time with Kicking Mule Workshop for an ultra limited-edition pair of denim pants.
