HIROSHI KATO

The Scissors Slim tapered - Indigo Raw Air 11.5oz Selvedge

$228.00

'Heavily Textured, Lightly Worn

In the pursuit of innovation we have created our latest achievement in denim. The idea for Selvedge Air was born out of the love for old vintage denim and the need for comfort. We wanted to introduce a denim that had the look and feel of a 15oz denim but one felt light and very comfortable when worn. After a very long development process with a highly capable mill in Japan, we were finally able to make this vision a reality.

Instead of using the usual 3 X 1 weave of standard denim, we implemented a 5 x 1 weave. This creates a denim with a higher surface thread count but a lower overall thread count, making it lighter and still durable. The low tension yarns and loose denim weave contribute to the thicker look of the denim while maintaining its light feel. The overall result is a vintage textured denim that looks like heavy weight and feels like a lightweight.

Pretty Disappointed

I was expecting a lot more compared to what I got. The cut is awkward fitting and the look of the fabric was much different than I imagined. Lesson learned.

Great jeans!

These jeans look like they're a lot heavier than they are. Very comfortable. Great fit after stretching, light and they look fantastic. The 11.5 oz raw airs are my go to jeans. The more I wear them the more I like them. Thank you!

Thank you for the 5-Star rating, Justin.
We're glad you like our Scissors Air as much as we do!

Unique wardrobe addition

Definitely a unique pair of denim to have.
They look great, a little tighter fitting than the black or blue wash pairs I have but they’ve stretched after a few wearings, still comfortable too!

Thank you for your honest review, Troy!
The raw takes a bit longer to stretch out, but once they do they become a comfortable everyday jean.
