FN-8004 18oz Selvedge Denim Wide Taper
The Flat Head's 18oz Japanese selvedge denim is woven with thick weft threads, to give the fabric a robust, stiff hand and that characteristic heavyweight selvedge denim feel. The thick, irregular yarns also grant a great deal of texture to this fabric, with vertical slub and nep layered within the classic twill weave. Flat Head uses the term "Doshaburi," or "torrential downpour," to refer to the nature of this vertical texture, because the vertical slub really does begin to look like a heavy rainstorm as it fades out more quickly than the smoother parts of the fabric do. Prior to weaving, these threads are traditionally rope-dyed in indigo by Japanese artisans, imbuing the fibers with deep shades of indigo blue that will fade out into beautiful light shades through wearing and washing the jeans.
FN-8004 is Flat Head's new "Wide Taper" fit, which features a high rise and relaxed top block, as well as a taper towards the leg opening. The taper is not extreme by any means, but does prevent the legs from becoming too wide below the knee without sacrificing the looser silhouette. This fit is very reminiscent of vintage classic and wide straight leg jeans from the 1950s and 60s, and should fit all body types.
