HOT ! NW8 Heritage Slim 14oz Indigo Japanese Rinse Selvedge Mens Jeans

Our NW8 cut has a curved waistband, allowing the back to sit higher than the front, offering additional support and comfort. This cut is wider through the leg than the E8, making it the perfect classic taper.  

This cut is suitable for all body shapes, especially those who want a classic jean that can be dressed up or down.

Modern tailoring innovation makes this a durable lifelong pair of jeans. 14oz weight indigo selvedge denim from Kurabo or Kaihara Mills makes this a classic raw selvedge denim jean you’ll want to wear forever.

We are proud to offer the NW8 & NW1 in this rinse, which has been developed and washed at our in-house R&D wash lab.
