PER-EX-003-BK - 15oz Black x Kakishibu Selvedge Jeans - Regular Straight

A vivid reinterpretation of black denim, the PER-EX-003-BK pairs Pure Blue Japan’s slub-heavy “Extra Slub” selvedge with a persimmon-dyed weft for a textured, earthy contrast beneath a deep black surface. Woven at low tension on vintage shuttle looms, the fabric clocks in at a crisp 15oz and delivers PBJ’s trademark neppy hand and irregular slub character. The weft is naturally dyed using fermented persimmon tannins, giving the jeans a warm, orange-brown undertone that slowly emerges with wear. Cut in PBJ’s regular straight fit, the silhouette balances a higher rise with generous room through the thigh and a subtle taper. Finished with all the expected PBJ detailing - from hidden back pocket rivets to tonal leaf embroidery - this is a deeply expressive pair that rewards long-term wear with evolving depth and contrast. These were a super rare snag for us that almost didn't make it to the shop. We had to scrap for them, and we are incredibly glad we did because they are truly, truly special.

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy popped up to a 34 in these. That tends to be his standard starting point from PBJ. These being a loose fit have extra room in the waist, which was noticeable but not unmanageable with a belt. We recommend you stick with your true size or one size up if you want a roomier cut. We like to have more room than less these days. Tommy is 5'10,' 165lbs with a 33-34" waist.
