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. 

"180 Days" is a washed version of EDWIN's 13.5oz Indigo Rainbow Selvedge, intended to showcase an aging pair of raw denim, at the 180 day mark without a wash. Jeans that are washed often fade more evenly and expose more texture, but unwashed jeans like the pair that inspired this wash generate very high contrast fades in which the creases and high wear areas lighten significantly while other areas stay dark blue. EDWIN is proud to have captured the essence of vintage workwear jeans with this wash, calling this wash "truly vintage." This wash is specially produced by using resin treatments to preserve the deep blue, and hand shaving the very high wear areas. High quality, authentic washes such as EDWIN's require special attention and focus, setting these quality washes apart from modern artificial fading processes.
