FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Kaihara denim?

Kaihara denim is renowned for its exceptional quality, durability, and the unique way it ages, developing character and personal fades over time.

How do I care for rigid denim to ensure it lasts?

It's best to wash rigid denim infrequently, inside out, in cold water with minimal detergent, and air dry. This preserves the indigo dye and the denim's structure.

Will these jeans shrink?

Yes, there may be some minimal shrinkage after the first wash, especially if machine dried on high heat. The relaxed fit is designed to account for this.

What does 'left-hand twill' mean for the denim?

Left-hand twill denim typically has a softer feel and tends to stretch out more comfortably in the legs compared to right-hand twill, making it ideal for relaxed fits.

How does the recycled and organic cotton impact the jeans?

The blend offers a more sustainable construction without compromising on the quality and feel of the denim. It contributes to a reduced environmental footprint.

What is the 'Dry Blue' wash?

Dry Blue is a balanced, dark indigo wash that highlights the premium quality of the raw denim. It's a versatile color that serves as a great base for natural fading.

Are these jeans suitable for daily wear immediately?

While they can be worn immediately, they are rigid and will become significantly more comfortable after a break-in period of regular wear.

Troubleshooting

Jeans feel stiff and uncomfortable.

This is normal for rigid denim. Wear the jeans frequently without washing for several weeks to allow them to soften and mold to your body.

Color transfer onto lighter clothing or furniture.

The indigo dye may transfer initially. Wash the jeans separately or with dark colors for the first few washes. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored surfaces until after several washes.

Button fly is difficult to fasten.

Ensure the buttonhole is properly aligned. With use, the button and buttonhole will become more pliable. If persistent, a tailor can adjust the buttonhole.

Uneven fading after washing.

Wash inside out and avoid aggressive agitation. For more uniform fading, consider a gentle machine wash. For controlled fading, hand washing and selective spot treatment can be used.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These jeans are ready to wear straight from the packaging. As they are made from rigid denim, it is recommended to wear them for an extended period before washing to allow them to break in and conform to your body shape.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Wash inside out with cold water and mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners.
  • Drying: It is best to air dry these jeans to preserve the denim's integrity and prevent shrinkage. If machine drying is necessary, use a low heat setting.
  • Stain Removal: For minor stains, spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. For more significant stains, wash as per instructions.
  • Shrinkage: Expect minimal shrinkage after the first wash. The fit is designed to accommodate this.
