Edwin AKT03 Dark 90 13.5oz Japanese Selvedge Denim Regular Straight

About this product

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.

'Dark 90' is a deep, dark wash that showcases some excellent contrast, with bright indigo hues beginning to highlight themselves against a darker backdrop, a reproduction of a daily worn pair of raw denim around the 3 month mark. You can see the blueprint for what will become a well-worn pair of selvedge denim, with high-contrast fade lines set across the thighs.
