Edwin Japan AKT03 Kamakura 13.5oz Japanese Selvedge Denim Regular Straight

About this product

EDWIN's new 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.

Kamakura is a summery, heavily washed Japanese Selvedge Denim with a very light indigo hue, featuring the same 13.5oz vintage weave denim that makes all of EDWIN's new selvedge jeans so excellent. Thanks to the washing process, these jeans have a veritable softness within the vintage texture they are steeped in, serving as a perfect pair of washed out vintage jeans for a casual day without giving up any of the quality or durability you are used to.
