Pilon Jean in Selvedge Denim

Japanese herringbone selvedge denim: rope-dyed indigo over a white core, with the selvedge stripe itself woven in herringbone. Mid-rise with a carrot leg. Runs true to size.

Japanese mills kept the shuttle looms America retired. Rope dyeing wraps the outside of the yarn in indigo while the core stays white, so the denim fades where you wear it.
