A true 12.1 oz dry denim wonder that pays tribute to the denim of the 1950s, with irregularities in warp and weft. True to history, it is constructed from ring-spun warp and weft yarns with variations in thickness, as was often the case on workwear fabrics of the time. It also stays true to its heritage with a dark, but not blackish, indigo warp that is half-dyed in pure indigo, giving it a rich, deep tone. Protruding neps and dyed weft further add to the unique character of this denim.

With wear, wash, and patience, the yarns will interact, and you'll reap the rewards this denim offers — evident slubs, a pleasing crosshatch pattern, and richness in warp streakiness. It’s the irregular yarns in both warp and weft that render the crosshatch effect, and the built-in tension of the yarns that produces the marble effect after washing. As the weft yarns are dyed in a shade that sits between yellow and grey, washing this pair of jeans will maintain the rich blue hue while producing an appearance that flirts with a green cast.

The greatest part about these jeans is not what they look like new, but rather the complete opposite — how they will look tomorrow, and the many days to come. Enjoy aging; it is worth the trouble. Patience and persistence go hand in hand with this denim.
