Graph Zero Sashiko Loose Straight Jeans - 14.5oz

Sashiko is a Japanese stitching technique with roots in practical reinforcement, fishermen and farmers using it to strengthen worn fabric and extend the life of a garment. Graph Zero applies the principle to the weave itself, using a double yarn and contrast jacquard stitch on vintage looms to produce a fabric with the characteristic grid-like texture of sashiko at 14.5oz. The surface is coarse and structural, noticeably heavier than standard selvedge, and it will soften gradually with wear.

The Loose Straight cut is roomy through the thigh and hip with a high rise and a leg that falls straight to the hem. It's a silhouette that suits the fabric weight well, giving the cloth room to drape rather than pulling tight. Orange selvedge at the outseam, herringbone pocket bags, engraved hardware and a vegetable-tanned leather patch at the waist.

These sit slightly apart from a typical selvedge jean. The sashiko texture will age differently, the raised surface fading unevenly and developing its own character over time.
