This pair of jeans is made in Los Angeles of 13oz Japanese selvedge denim in a very cool, slightly more-saturated-than-usual shade of deep blue. Just like all of our 5-pockets, the shape riffs on two other longtime favorites: think Levi's 501s with more taper, APC New Standards with more room in the rise, and slimmer than both from the knee down. They're made with white twill pocketing, a button fly, brass rivets, chain-stitched hems, and clean, unbranded back pockets. If you're new to selvedge, don't be put off by the initial stiffness — selvedge denim softens up and fades over time. And especially if you can hold off on washing them for awhile, they'll wear in and become as unique to you as your fingerprints.
