Japanese Stretch Selvedge Denim - HB Straight
Story
Japanese denim woven on antique shuttle looms with a hint of stretch
When our Design Director Nick Kemp sought to create a made-in-Japan version of our bestselling Stretch Selvedge Denim, he went to the Kaihara Mill, a 133-year-old plant located in Hiroshima Prefecture that’s known for its high-quality heritage denim fabric.
Each pair of Japanese Stretch Selvedge starts with a 12.5 oz Kaihara selvedge infused with 2% stretchwoven on antique shuttle looms.From there, our factories meticulously tailor the fits, and each pair is reinforced with copper rivets and finished with a full leather patch and the signature red selvedge ID. It’s our faithful reproduction of the best heritage denim of the past, with a modern twist that makes it comfortable from day one.
