AKT33 Rip x Repair x Relic 13.5oz Japanese Selvedge Denim Regular Taper

Crafted from 13.5oz Japanese Rainbow Selvedge Denim, these EDWIN jeans embody vintage charm through their heavy wash and intricate patchwork. With a unique combination of American and Australian long-staple cotton, their softer hand enhances comfort while allowing for deep indigo dyeing. Features include characteristic rips, sashiko repairs, and a distinct 50's texture. Ideal for those who appreciate the artistry of distressed denim, each piece reflects a history of wear and character. From the brand: 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.  Rip X Repair X Relic is a heavily washed, distressed, and repaired selvedge denim, showcasing the eventual potential found in every pair of EDWIN's 13.5oz Rainbow Selvedge jeans. Just like the rest of us, the EDWIN team is very passionate about a heavily worn pair of jeans, and this model is meant to be a pre-distressed replica of some incredibly well worn jeans, featuring a collage of fades, rips, patches, stains, and sashiko repairs across the denim panels.
