Pure Blue Japan comes through with a new fabric for those wanting their signature selvedge denim they're known for but in a lighter shade of indigo. These have a very unique shade and feel, even for Pure Blue Japan. Disclaimer: These jeans are made of unsanforized denim but have gone through a special rinse process we developed with Pure Blue Japan which is exclusive to Self Edge. The jeans have been lightly soaked inside out in warm water then air dried; there is minimal shrinkage left in the denim while the jean still feels rigid due to the "at home" style rinse process. These jeans have not gone through any industrial washing or drying processes. Pure Blue Japan SMBL-14oz-019 14oz Smoky Blue Denim Jeans - Straight Tapered
