#481 Japan Sixteener

When we think of authentic raw selvedge denim, here is what we picture: heavy, starchy, dark indigo warp, crisp white weft. Instantly recognizable, slightly daunting at the start as it molds to your body. A true labor of love that, with real investment, will become a true work of fabric art that's unique to you. This is why we wanted to offer you the Japan Sixteener. It's gold-standard raw selvedge denim at a huge value. 16 ounces of selvedge from Japan. It's dense and heavily starched. A pure dark indigo warp gets nicely balance by solid show-through on the white weft. One quick set of photos and my sample pair already had paper-like creases setting in - great fades are sure to follow in time. The blue selvedge ID is a nice touch. Sewn in the USA, big value selvedge.
