Stretch Selvedge - Standard Fit

The Standard is the fit we keep coming back to. Mid rise, a clean silhouette that follows the leg without gripping it, and a leg opening that works over a boot or a sneaker. The fabric is Kaihara, from Fukuyama, Hiroshima. They have been weaving indigo since 1893 and built one of Japan's first rope dyeing machines in 1970. Rope dyeing leaves a white core inside the yarn. That core is what surfaces as the denim wears. We chose a 12 oz. indigo with 2 percent stretch. Two percent takes the plank out of a raw jean without taking out the backbone. It breaks in within a couple of weeks and still fades on schedule, honeycombs behind the knee, whiskers at the hip. Fit: Mid rise / Trim seat and thighs with a slightly tapered leg opening Fabric: Raw 12 oz. selvedge denim from Kaihara Mills / Indigo warp - Natural weft / 98% Cotton 2% Elastane Features: Contrast stitching Branded black coated copper rivets and buttons that will fade/wear to show copper over time Leather backed Rivets and Buttons Lined back pockets Chain stitched hem Hidden selvedge coin pocket Veg-tanned leather patch Free repairs for the life of the jean Care: Turn jeans inside-out and hand or machine wash with cold water and gentle detergent. Hang or flat dry. Do not machine dry. These jeans are indigo-dyed and you will likely experience some dye transfer. Minimize contact with light colored garments and upholstery. Sizing: These jeans are true to size, and will stretch 1/2" - 3/4" in the waist with wear. For information on how we measure jeans check out our MEASUREMENT GUIDE
