Like new! Our designers are obsessed with denim - and it shows. This selvedge fabric (with a small amount of stretch for comfort) comes from the Kaihara mill in Japan, one of the largest and best-known denim makers in the world. In more than 50 years of production, Kaihara has patented machines to improve the weaving process and developed new techniques that blend American and Japanese dyeing traditions. "Selvedge" refers to the self-finished edge of a piece of fabric, a tightly woven band that keeps the hem from unraveling and fraying. Flip the cuffs to see the selvedge line, a sign of denim that's built to last Cotton. Traditional 5-pocket styling. Zip fly. Since this item is indigo dyed, it's prone to crocking, or color transfer, so wear (and wash) it with dark colors till it's worn in. Machine wash. D185
