When our Design Director Nick Kemp set out to create our limited-edition Japanese Stretch Selvedge Denim, he went to the Kaihara Mill, a 133-year-old plant in Hiroshima Prefecture 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.
