About denim fabric

This model is made in 12.5oz Japanese Natural Indigo Selvedge , woven on traditional shuttle-loom looms in a classic right hand twill construction .

Unlike most modern jeans, which use synthetic indigo, this denim is dyed with natural indigo extracted from fermented leaves of the Indigofera plant. This dyeing method produces a more vibrant blue color and a unique development of fades.

Because natural indigo binds to the fibers slightly differently than synthetic dye, the jeans will develop a softer and more nuanced patina over time.

The denim also has classic details such as:

• blue selvedge ID

• contrast stitching

• English tan full-grain leather patch

• dark copper buttons and rivets

The result is a pair of jeans that combines Japanese weaving tradition with a more historical dyeing technique.

What is natural indigo?

Natural indigo is a blue pigment extracted from the Indigofera plant. In traditional denim production, the plant material is fermented before the pigment is used to dye the yarn.

Before synthetic indigo was developed in the late 19th century, this was the most common way to dye denim. Jeans dyed with natural indigo often develop more complex and vibrant fades , making them popular among denim enthusiasts today.
