FROM TS: "While these jeans were built in the USA, they started their journey in Ibara, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. There, individual cotton yarns were dyed using a traditional “bingokasura” method, then woven into a distinctive 13.5-oz denim with a smooth hand and unique expression that will yield gorgeous fades down the line. Outfitted with custom YKK copper hardware and tailored to our signature Democratic fit with a slightly roomier top block and gentle taper from knee to leg opening." We recommend going up a size for a more comfortable fit. 13.5-oz. 100% cotton. Nihon Menpu selvage denim. Classic medium rise, tailored fit, straight through the thigh with a slight taper from knee to leg opening. 34" inseam. 5-oz. 100% organic cotton SF Map pocketing. Button fly. Leather patch on backside of waistband. YKK copper shanks and rivets. Wash cold and tumble dry low. Made in USA.
