The modern essential, higher waisted, decent thigh, narrowing from the knee, sign me up! Still the quality selvedge we expect from Blackhorse, if not a little heavier (14oz), these have got you covered, loafers and laced boots alike, lovely! Made for everyday wear they look fantastic when the soft silhouette of your wallet or phone begins to emerge and such indexical traces of wear endear the garment to you, the owner. I wear mine with a single roll at the shoe, no break, but you have the option to roll these beauties as you wish. See below for further details, including general denim care.
E8 construction details:
- 14oz raw selvedge denim woven in Japan by Kurabo Mills
- 100% cotton
- The Kanto Blue indigo offers an inky saturated cast, with good contrast when worn in
- Chunky white selvedge line
- Sanforized (pre-shrunk) denim
- Heritage one-piece button fly for strength and tidiness
- Reinforced back pockets with additional 10oz cotton lining piece, for extra defence
- Inside seam is felled for super strength and durability
- Selvedge featured on the outside leg seam
- Outer leg seam is captured within the pocket bag for strength at the pressure point
- Tailoring innovation makes the inside of the jean more beautiful-
- Heritage-style waistband construction makes the jean stronger
- Subtle hidden rivets in the back pocket corners for strength
- Belt loops sewn in to the waistband for strength
- Stress points are bar-tacked or riveted for durability
- Hidden coin/key pocket in the right-hand pocket bag
General denim care:
- Cold wash only, or the denim will shrink 5%
- Wash inside out with mild detergent or none at all
- They are sanforized so will shrink in the length up to 1″, but shouldn’t shrink in the width
- Raw denim will give up to a 1 1/2″ in the waistband, so the fit should be snug (but not restrictive) to compensate
