EDWIN's new 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 trul y 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. "Dark 90" is a deep, dark wash that showcases some excellent contrast, with bright indigo hues beginning to highlight themselves against a darker backdrop, a reproduction of a daily worn pair of raw denim around the 3 month mark. You can see the blueprint for what will become a well-worn pair of selvedge denim, with high-contrast fade lines set across the thighs.
