#465 Blond Wood Reactive Dye Selvedge

Usually raw selvedge denim is about evolution. It's about the way indigo dye leaves the surface of the fabric over time to create a rainbow of new blue shades as the denim becomes unique to you. However, this time, one of our favorite mills in Japan took a different path. It decided to create two totally unique colors and fix them in the fabric. It's a different approach, but equally nice. Of course, starting with great color is critical. Reactive dye is used, which is designed to hold color. This version is a bright blonde wood. Fresh, bold color that offers a nice change of pace from dark indigo. All the great vintage selvedge ingredients back these colors up - a starchy finish, slubby vertical grain throughout and green ID. This is a new take on a classic.
