FAQs
What does '13.5oz Kaihara Denim' mean?
This refers to the weight of the fabric (13.5 ounces per square yard), which indicates a medium-heavy, durable denim produced by the renowned Kaihara mill in Japan.
Should I wash these before wearing them?
No, it is recommended to wear them 'raw' to allow the natural character and fading patterns to develop specific to your lifestyle.
Are these pants meant to be baggy?
Yes, they feature an oversized, wide-leg fit designed for a relaxed, contemporary silhouette.
Will the waist stretch out over time?
While raw denim relaxes, you should purchase the size that fits your waist comfortably from day one, as significant stretching is not expected.
What is a Jacron patch?
A Jacron patch is a durable, leather-like label made from cellulose fibers, often used by brands as a sustainable alternative to traditional leather patches.
Troubleshooting
Indigo dye transferring onto furniture or shoes
This is normal for raw denim. Avoid wearing with light-colored upholstery or footwear during the first 10-15 wears until the surface indigo stabilizes.
Fabric feels too stiff during first wear
This is a characteristic of high-quality, heavy-weight selvage. Wear the pants consistently for several days to allow the fabric to loosen and break in naturally.
Unexpected shrinkage after cleaning
Always wash raw denim in cold water and never use a tumble dryer; hang drying is the only recommended method.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptional durability due to 13.5oz weight
- Develops unique character and fades through wear
- Sophisticated wide-leg silhouette

Cons
- Raw denim may bleed indigo dye onto lighter fabrics
- Requires a break-in period for maximum comfort
- Limited stretch compared to modern synthetic blends
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are raw selvage denim, care is essential to preserve the fabric's integrity. Do not wash these pants frequently, as excessive water contact can prevent the formation of natural whiskers and fades. If cleaning becomes necessary, turn the jeans inside out and hand-wash in cold water with minimal detergent, then air dry away from direct sunlight. Avoid machine drying, as it can cause unexpected shrinkage and damage the selvage construction. Given the 30-inch waist sizing, ensure you consult a fit guide to verify your measurements against this specific oversized cut, as the waist measurement is fixed and does not feature stretch capabilities.
