Description

The last gem, is a 15 oz., black selvage made by Italian denim mill, Candiani. At 15 oz., this denim is tightly woven from ring-spun warp and weft yarns, with nicely balanced yarn slub and yarn twist. This gives the fabric character in its raw stage, and it develops extremely satisfying highs and lows with washing. The latter is made evident as the weft — the yarn system visible on the inside — is dyed in indanthrene black sulfur dye, a sulfur dye that does not fade from wearing or washing, stayblack. The warp, however, is dyed in regular sulfur, but only the surface yarns, which makes the black fade faster than normal. So what you get is a pair of fast fading black selvage jeans, which — thanks to that indanthrene-dyed weft — renders high contrasting fades.  We have treated these jeans to a rinse to increase the surface texture and give them a dull black tone. Given their faster fading nature, we recommend that these jeans are washed with care, avoiding potential friction issues from machine washing. Holding off on washing for the initial six months of regular wear is a good guideline. When washing is due, a gentle rinse is better than a full wash, reducing any unwanted wash effects. If machine washing is preferred, opt for a delicate cycle with low spin and swift removal afterward. Dampening the jeans before washing helps soften them and minimizes potential issues.
