Kaihara #696 - Japanese Selvedge Denim | Red Selvedge

This is a classic indigo Japanese selvedge denim with an off-white selvedge with a red stitch. Midweight and non-stretch, it holds good structure that will soften with wash and wear. This denim is premium in quality and style, making for an incredible pair of jeans, shorts, skirts or jackets. Short width, the colourful selvedge is created to become a part of the garment, and makes for a fantastic design detail. 

It is said every second person in Japan wears denim manufactured by Kaihara. Founded in 1893, Kaihara Denim continues to build on traditional Japanese methods such as the skill of kasuri weaving to create new innovative denim. A pioneer of wider-width denim without jeopardising the quality Japan is known for, supplying to the world's finest denim brands.

Care: We recommend washing flat in tub for first wash. Following washes can be done in a cold machine wash. Please wash separately before cutting to allow for any dye run. Do not leave to soak in washing machine or tub as this can cause crease run lines.

Sewing Suggestion: We recommend using our Top stitching thread, Rivets & Jean Domes and sewing with our heavyweight Size 16 Needles. Check out our full denim range here. 

Selvedge denim is hard wearing and requires less cleaning than typical cotton fabrics. To preserve the dye, it is recommended to place your garment in a plastic bag in the freezer to kill bacteria and eliminate odour in place of washing.
