Product Description
The Kawataro Selvedge is a fresh greencast interpretation of Naked & Famous Denim’s legendary Japan Heritage fabric. Inspired by Kawataro, the mischievous Japanese river god also known as Kappa, this denim pays tribute to a mythical figure celebrated for his love of cucumbers, sumo wrestling, and playful trickery.
Crafted from 14.5oz Japanese Selvedge denim, the Kawataro Selvedge features a distinctly slubby and uneven texture achieved through low-tension weaving and the use of irregular slub yarns. The yarns are rope-dyed in indigo, and their varying shapes cause the dye to penetrate unevenly—resulting in natural variation and depth across the fabric’s surface.
With wear and washing, the denim reveals a striking spectrum of indigo shades, producing bold, high-contrast, three-dimensional fades. Additional details include contrast stitching, a custom Raging Kong leather patch, pink selvedge ID, and antique copper buttons and rivets.
True Guy Fit
The True Guy is a straight leg fit with a medium rise. It provides extra room in the seat and thigh, falling straight from the knee to the hem for a clean, classic silhouette.
