13.5oz Japanese selvedge denim with red-line selvedge ID
Unsanforized raw denim that shrinks to fit after first soak
Straight-leg fit with medium rise and button fly
Hidden rivets and chainstitched hems for durability
Fabric: 13.5oz heavyweight selvedge raw denim — densely woven with 100% pure cotton, featuring a distinctive 5-color space-dyed weft yarn that creates a vibrant inner texture.
Selvedge: White selvedge tape along the outseam, a hallmark of authentic shuttle-loomed denim construction.
Hardware: YKK zipper fly with single-button waist closure and reinforced copper rivets at key stress points.
Leather Patch: Vintage leather patch at the back waistband — embossed with 'ORIGINAL BLUE' and ages with the denim.
Wash: Raw / unwashed dark indigo. Designed to fade gradually with wear, developing personalized whiskers, honeycombs, and stacks.
Pockets: Classic five-pocket construction — two curved front pockets, two reinforced back pockets, and one coin pocket.
Stitching: Contrast tonal topstitching with chain-stitched hem detail for a vintage finish.
Composition: 100% cotton, non-stretch.
Style Code: TH2501155
Care Instructions: Wash sparingly to preserve the indigo and selvedge character. Machine wash cold inside out with similar colors, or spot-clean when possible. Do not bleach. Hang dry to maintain shape; tumble dry low only if needed. Expect minor indigo transfer (crocking) during the first few wears — this is normal for raw denim.
Fit: Straight-leg cut — relaxed through the seat and thigh, tapering gently from the knee to the hem for a clean, modern silhouette that layers easily over sneakers or boots.
Rise: Mid-rise — sits naturally at the waist, comfortable for all-day wear.
Leg Shape: Straight leg with a clean opening that maintains structure without being restrictive.
Length: Standard full-length inseam — uncuffed, with chain-stitched hem.
Stretch: Non-stretch, 100% cotton selvedge denim. Will mold to your body and relax slightly after the first few wears.
Sizing Advice: True to waist size (in inches). Raw denim typically stretches roughly ½–1 inch at the waist after break-in, so if you are between sizes or prefer a closer fit, size down. If you plan to wear with a belt or want a more relaxed feel, take your usual size.
