The True Guy fit features a medium rise, ample room in the seat and thighs, and a straight leg from knee to leg opening. The result is a classic straight fit inspired by traditional workwear jeans.

The denim fabric is woven in Japan, while the jeans are cut and sewn in Canada.

About the denim fabric

Yatagarasu Selvedge is a 15oz Japanese selvedge denim inspired by Yatagarasu, the mythological three-legged raven in Japanese Shinto tradition symbolizing guidance and direction.

The denim features a black sulfur-dyed warp that gives a deep and rich black tone from the very start. Beneath lies a natural white weft, and the contrast between these threads becomes more visible as the jeans are worn.

The fabric is spun from short slub yarns, which gives a slightly uneven and textured surface with subtle "hairiness." This creates more depth in the fabric and contributes to distinct vertical fades over time.

What are selvedge jeans?

Selvedge denim is denim woven on traditional shuttle looms where the fabric is produced in narrow widths. This weaving method creates a clean, finished edge along the outer edge of the fabric – the selvedge – which prevents the denim from fraying. The result is a denser and more durable fabric that develops character and personal fades over time.
