AKT32 13.5oz Rainbow Selvedge Denim Wet Black Slim Taper
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.
Edwin's "Black Wet" is a one-washed raw denim, reproducing a rinsed pair that has only seen a few, if any, wears. Black Wet retains basically all of its black sulphur dye from that wash, so while they will age with wear going forward, off the shelf you receive a clean pair of black jeans that also offer an unbelievable softness thanks to the initial rinse. If you dislike the initial break-in with starchy denim, this will surely solve your issues.
