Edwin Japan AKT03 13.5oz Japanese Selvedge Denim Osuga Summer Regular Straight

About this product

Edwin's Japanese Rainbow Selvedge Denim weighs in at 13.5oz, and is custom woven by Kaihara Mills in Japan on vintage machinery, woven at a low speed and tension to create truly vintage selvedge denim. A mixture of American and Australian long-staple cotton are used for a softer hand, with the additional benefit of the stark white colour of these cottons allowing a deeper indigo dye to occur. The warp and weft threads are spun differently for traditional texture, with the warp featuring natural middle-pitched uneven yarns to allow 1940's/50's esque fading on the warp, while the weft incorporates shorter-pitched uneven yarns, twisted tightly for a crunchier weave.

This denim showcases Edwin's unique 'Osuga' washing process, which is inspired by traditional washing techniques and imparts some serious softness and a subtle, authentic patina upon the fabric. This artisinal wash creates a natural, aged effect that captures the effortless, laid-back style of summer, complete with some distressed elements, limited to certain parts of the jeans.
