TNK202KH - 14.5oz "KAKISHIBU" Selvedge Indigo x Persimmon - High Tapered

According to Tanuki, this denim has been heavily requested for years. By now, you've seen many variations of Kakishibu selvedge and it's almost always darker in nature - something closer to brown. Well, Kakishibu dyeing is an ancient natural dyeing process that uses the persimmon fruit to get its color. Persimmons are orange, not brown; you can clearly see that shade in this heavily saturated denim. We've been addicted to this dye since it came into our lives seven years ago. It adds a perfect warm base which makes for beautiful fading. We love that you can see the orange cast poking through the weave of the twill. And it looks even better when you flip the cuff. The slubby denim combined with this special dye is finished off with their signature Tanuki blue details making what we see as a contender for "pair of the year."

Fit Notes: Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size 34 in the pictures. The High Tapered seems to have a larger waist to accompany that heavy taper. This was a roomy fit in the waist with ample room in the thigh and leg for a tapered jean. We recommend sizing up at least once from what you normally wear. Tommy is 5'10," 162lbs with a 33-34" waist depending on the rise. 

*The high tapered fit is roomy up top with a strong taper through the leg, balancing structure with comfort.*
