The Perfect Blue Slub Stretch Selvedge is the latest addition to the Slub Stretch Selvedge series. Previous iterations include the Sakura Slub Stretch Selvedge, Golden Hour Slub Stretch Selvedge, as well as the Ryu, and Ken jeans from the Street Fighter collection, and the Goku, and Cell from the Dragon Ball Z collection.

The Perfect Blue Slub Stretch Selvedge takes its name from using a chemically perfect indigo dye, called pure indigo. This dye contains no impurities (which can effect the color) and allows us to create specific indigo tones. In this case the warm toned indigo, reminiscent of vintage blue jeans.

The face of the fabric appears streaky with ridges running through it - a desirable coarseness echoing eras of artisanal yarn spinning. These slubs will fade irregularly as the indigo is absorbed more in some places than others. The weft has this warm soft shade of off-white because the yarns have been neither bleached nor dyed. They carry the natural color of untouched cotton.

The details round out a classic Japanese selvedge denim built for daily wear: a 12.5oz fabric, contrast stitching, silver metallic hardware, a brown leather patch, and a redline selvedge ID. Plus, 2% stretch for an easier break-in
