Edwin's 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. This denim showcases Edwin's unique "Osuga" washing process, which is inspired by traditional washing techniques and imparts some serious softness and a subtle, authentic patina upon the fabric. This artisinal wash creates a natural, aged effect that captures the effortless, laid-back style of summer, complete with some distressed elements, limited to certain parts of the jeans.
