RMC ORJ 14.8oz Double Knee Utility Shorts
Designed for Work. Crafted for Life. Built to Age Beautifully.
Inspired by classic American workwear, the RMC ORJ Double Knee Utility Shorts reinterpret a heritage design through meticulous Japanese craftsmanship.
This season, RMC ORJ introduces a newly developed 14.8oz denim woven from premium cotton sourced from Burkina Faso, Africa. Prized for its long-staple fibers, natural strength, and exceptional character, the fabric is designed to mature beautifully with wear, developing a rich patina unique to every owner.
Every detail serves a purpose—from the reinforced double-knee construction and utility pockets to the vintage military olive herringbone pocket bags, copper rivets, and heavy-duty stitching. Built for durability yet refined in appearance, the shorts retain their structure while developing distinctive fades and texture over time.
A specialized spinning process gives the denim remarkable depth, subtle slub, and hand feel. As each pair ages, it develops a character entirely its own—no two will ever fade the same.

Burkina Faso Cotton
The Beginning of Every Great Denim
Every great pair of jeans begins with great cotton.
This season, RMC ORJ uses premium cotton from Burkina Faso, West Africa—known as the “White Gold” of the region.
Its long-staple fibers provide exceptional strength, comfort, and beautiful aging, allowing the denim to develop a unique character over time.
