Slim Straight 25oz 'Sumo IV' Japan Selvage Denim
$218.00
Selvage denim of this weight and caliber are rare, expensive and very difficult to manufacture here in USA due to the sheer weight, thickness of the yarn and time factor involved in slowing down the production line.
Each sewing operation has to be considered and necessary adjustments need to be made to accommodate the weight. Our sewing operators are required to wear safety goggles during the sewing process due the frequent exploding needles which can be quite dangerous. Needless to say it's extremely time consuming due to the half speed at which the operations can be accomplished which makes it a very labor intensive production process.
Fabric
The 2022/2023 Indigo Invitational Gold Medal Champ! The yarns used to weave this weight are 3.5s yarns which enables the density and strength of a full 25oz's but ensures a wearability that is not much beyond a 21oz.
