This GL3 denim features a thick, twisted #6 slub yarn for the indigo rope-dyed warp and #5 slub kinari undyed yarns for the weft. This Samurai Cotton series denim is uniquely made from a blended yarn of Texas-grown cotton for the weft and Organic Japanese Cotton re-established by the Samurai Cotton Project in Hyogo prefecture, employing an ancient native cotton strain and hand-cultivation techniques. Constructed in Samurai's Regular Straight style, this modern interpretation of a classic silhouette is designed with a tailored straight cut that accommodates all body types comfortably while molding a personalized fit over time.
