FOB Factory occupies a different position to brands like Iron Heart (heavier weights, more robust construction aesthetic) or Momotaro (regional heritage, specific ceremonial detail). FOB Factory's range is broader — denim, workwear, military, shirts — and the price point is notably accessible for the production standard. The quality of fabric and construction is comparable to brands that cost significantly more, which reflects their background as a production company rather than a label that contracted production.

Wear before washing — the longer the better for developing distinct fades. When you do wash, turn inside out and use cold water. For the first wash, a cold soak with no detergent is sufficient — then line dry. Avoid machine washing until the denim has been broken in. For workwear trousers and shirts, follow the care label on the garment; most can be machine washed cold on a gentle cycle, inside out.
