Denim
These Regular Straight Jeans from Edwin are made from a 14oz Kurabo Recycle Red Selvage Denim Fabric and showcase the traditional aspects of premium Japanese denim. The name ‘selvedge’ refers to the fabric being self-finished; it’s constructed using a traditional method and the wefts are continuously passed back and forth with a shuttle. This process is slower so selvedge denim requires craftsmanship and the fabric is praised for its durability. In a classic straight silhouette, these jeans can be dressed up or down and are a standout pair in any wardrobe.

A good sweater vest is the perfect piece for layering, and this Far Afield Pinto vest will become an essential part of your rotation for the transitional months.
