 With no info, I'd say, you may have gotten in on some sort of start-up. They are definitely not established.

 From the looks of it, it is selvedge. But, there really is no way of knowing exactly where it came from. If the jeans are sewn in Japan, as stated on the patch, there's a good chance the denim was sourced there. Although, it's not guaranteed. The possibility does exist, this could be mill end, or odd lot denim. Anything the maker could get there hands on, to get started, with minimal overhead.

 If I had to guess, there are 2 good possibilities...

1. A new-comer to the Japanese denim industry is trying to establish themselves.

OR

2. Some shyster is trying to cash in on the popularity of Japanese made jeans.

For now, I'd hold off on any further purchases. If they are legitimate, time will tell.

 Reddit search yielded nothing. Google search "secret jeans japan" nets only 3 useful links to Shop Zeil on Rakuten. From all appearances, they are only being sold by one retailer. So, there isn't much to go on, yet.

Edit: There is another Rakuten shop ( Earthmarket ) selling the 15oz. Although, the price difference between them and Zeil is astounding. Zeil=$85 Earthmarket=$275. You don't see that very often on Rakuten. Something is a little off.

 Digging a little deeper, an Instagram search found no account. But, #secretjeans has 4 useful posts. 3 from over 2 years ago, and 1 from about 18 weeks ago. It would seem, they started some time ago, but disappeared from radar for a couple of years.

I see. To be safe I'll withhold from purchasing any more from them. Until you get more info
