Benzak B-07 Relaxed Straight Forties Era Selvedge Indigo 14oz

About this product

B-07 RELAXED STRAIGHT has been created using the same top black as the B-04 RELAXED TAPERED, but with an updated leg shape – instead of a taper, it has a straight silhouette. Just like the B-04, the B-07 has a tilted top block, creating a bigger than average difference between front and back rise, allowing for a comfortable and relaxed fit on the hips.

14 oz. forties era selvedge is a type of denim with a lot of character and interesting detailing. It has been replicated from vintage denim from 1940s, both in terms of indigo shade and construction. Denim from that period was mostly unsanforized -- and so is Benzak`s version. The tricky part of unsanforized denim is that it may shrink up to 10% after the first wash.

Therefore, Benzak has already pre-washed the garments in the factory and adjusted the pattern to end up with the correct measurements after this first wash. This means that you can buy your own size and don’t have to worry about the shrinkage. In its unwashed state, the fabric weighs approximately 12 oz.

per square yard. However, after washing, the shrinkage causes the weight to increase to 14 oz. per square yard as the fibers contract and draw closer together. This results in more yarn being packed into the same square yard, giving the fabric a stiff feel, despite it being already washed.
