UES roll out an all-black edition of their signature 14.9oz Japanese selvedge denim. This black x black fabric is woven on vintage looms using sulphur rope-dyed warp and weft yarns — a unique denim designed to yield all the contrast, depth, and nuance of indigo-dyed denim, just in greyscale.
The selvedge denim is woven from premium Zimbabwe cotton, prized for its balance of softness and durability. Once cut and sewn, the jeans are one-washed to achieve a more broken-in hand and to eliminate shrinkage.
The 400TB carries all the thoughtful yet minimal detailing we’ve come to expect from UES: copper rivets (including hidden back pocket rivets), raised belt loops, white-line selvedge at the outseam and coin pocket, and a natural goat leather patch.
In terms of fit, the 400TB offers a clean, modern taper with a medium rise, a comfortable top block, and a gentle taper through the leg.

Important: The best way to determine the size you need is to measure a similar item you already own and compare with the actual sizing as per the table below. Do not go by tag size alone. These jeans have been one-washed to eliminate shrinkage. The waist will stretch up to one inch with wear.
