What is selvedge?
A selvedge is the edge of a denim fabric that is woven on an old-fashioned loom called a shuttle loom. A white fabric edge with a red line on it is called "red ear" and is a characteristic of selvedge denim. It can be seen on the back side of the outseam (the outer line of the leg) of jeans. For the limited edition of our new black denim strap, we used these "red ears," a characteristic of selvedge denim for loop.
Enjoy color fading of denim
The ideal coloration is achieved by adding a secret indigo dye, and repeatedly dyeing the threads and exposing them to the air to oxidize them.
The timing is fine tuned to suit the weather each day.
The culmination of these processes results in an indigo blue and beautiful edging.
It has a jeans-like design as an hommage to denim
We used Tochigi leather from one of the world’s finest tanners.
The case leather, which is also used on the hip labels, on the jeans, brings an oil-like depth, which allows you to enjoy the aging of the fabric, as you would with denim.
We also created an re-formed the Kaihara Denima brand logo to create an original engraved logo.
This special design is only available on our straps.
Further, the holes used to fit arm size contain stainless rivets.
They are the same as those used around jean pockets, for a detail only found on denim items.
Exclusive logo embossed on Knot straps
The Kaihara Denim brand logo is also a unique, redesigned logo exclusively for this piece. This special re-imagining of the logo is available only in Knot straps.
