Weighing in at 15oz, Pure Blue Japan’s Kasuri selvedge denim is a true testament to the brand’s loom mastery. It carries PBJ’s signature depth and texture, further enhanced by traditional Kasuri dyeing techniques.
Kasuri (絣) is a Japanese textile dyeing method that creates unique, blurred patterns by resist-dyeing sections of yarn before weaving. This process results in denim woven with both dyed and undyed yarns, producing a fabric rich in indigo with streaks of natural white cotton.
The result is a selvedge denim with a striking, variegated texture that interacts beautifully with layers of indigo dye. Labour-intensive and deeply intricate, the process adds remarkable depth and character, giving the denim an almost handwoven quality.
Available in Pure Blue Japan’s 013 Slim Tapered fit – snug through the thigh with a subtle taper for a clean, flattering silhouette.
