EDWIN's "Tamo Ash' is a faded run of their 13.5oz Black Rainbow Selvedge Denim, a sulphur-dyed version of the usual 13.5oz Rainbow Selvedge Denim, custom woven by Kaihara Mills. This black denim uses the same blend of long-staple American and Australian cotton fibers, and uses the same vintage looms and traditional weaving method seen in the regular indigo fabric, omitting the deep indigo dye for a black sulphur dye, applied to both the warp and the weft. 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. 

"Tamo Ash" incorporates the same fading methods that EDWIN uses for their "180 Days" indigo wash, inspired by worn and unwashed pairs of raw denim that are beginning to show some nice fades. These jeans are intended to replicate the look of a pair of unwashed black raw denim, worn for half a year. When raw denim is washed often it takes on a more bit of a more uniform, all-over fade, generally with more texture due to the abrasion from washing. However, when a pair is worn for some time with minimal or no washing, the fades are much higher contrast, which is what EDWIN has gone for here. By combining pre-treating unwashed jeans, minimal washing, and hand-shaving they have achieved what they consider a "truly vintage " pair of faded jeans, with heavy black still remaining in some areas.
