AKT03 Blue Wet 13.5oz Rainbow Selvedge Denim Regular Straight
We have received a selection of EDWIN's brand new "Dark Pure Indigo Rainbow Selvedge" in both Regular Taper and Straight fits, featuring dry indigo and washes weighing in at 13.5oz. Custom woven by Kaihara Mills in Japan, this denim is spun on vintage machinery, 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.
Edwin's "Blue Wet" is a one-washed raw denim, reproducing a rinsed pair that has only seen a few, if any, wears. Blue Wet retains the vast majority of its indigo dye, so no need to be concerned about the fade potential on these, they will still age excellently - perhaps a hair lighter in contrast compared to the Dry Raw, if we get very technical. However, in exchange for that early rinse, you receive an unbelievably soft and comfortable pair of jeans, so if you dislike the initial break-in with starchy denim, this will solve your issues.
