#486 Zimbabwe Denim - Steel

The first question many denim connoisseurs ask us is "Where is the cotton from?" The answer they're hoping for is Zimbabwe. Why is cotton from Zimbabwe so coveted? It's known for an extra long staple that gives it a legendary toughness combined with a soft feel. This 13.5oz example certainly gives credence to that. When we first got this fabric, we sewed up samples to test it out. The full pant began to reveal the beauty of this denim. You could see the cross-hatch grain and texture. Then I put them on. Usually, I get out of sample pants quickly because, let's face it, raw denim requires some break-in and I look forward to putting my own worn-in pair back on. With the Zimbabwe Denim, I kept them on. They just felt incredible. The fabric is solid and dense, but it was comfortable. The back was smooth and I found them molding to my body really quickly. These samples are going into my collection. This is just pure denim quality that comes from the best cotton grown.
