Look closely at our Kihon jeans and you’ll see quality in every seam. The raw denim gets its brilliant black color from rope-dying: a process through which each rope of yarn is dipped into a series of black sulfur dye baths and exposed to the air. Never left in the baths long enough for the dye to penetrate its core, the yarn retains a white interior. With wear, this white emerges. Together with the coveted texture of slubby denim—achieved through twill weaving on vintage shuttle looms—rope-dyed cotton facilitates a fade that’s unique to each pair of well-worn Kihon jeans. Available in two flattering fits, the regular-taper Weird Guy and the slim-taper Super Guy, the Kihon is your next fundamental.
