Blue Beach Blog Introduction: Bamboo Fiber Selvage

Slim fit four-pocket chino made from a crispy and highly textural 7.1 oz. Japanese organic cotton and bamboo fiber-mix selvage denim.

Description.

"Slim fit four-pocket chino made in a crispy 7.1 oz. Japanese selvage denim. The denim is woven with yarns made from a cotton and bamboo mix. The bamboo fiber is made from the bamboo stem and has a woodier hand, much like flax . This has generated a denim fabric with an extraordinary look and hand - lightweight but sturdy with a neppy and fuzzy surface. These Chinos are sewn with medium-weight tone-in-tone thread with medium-short stitch length, emphasizing its clean construction and paying homage to its workwear heritage. The solid white selvage-id has been utilized exceptionally well in the making of these chinos - not only can it be found at the inside of the outseam, but it has also been used at the inside of the fly , front pockets, and back pockets. Beautiful and as utilitarian as the use of selvage were back in the day.

If you ask us, Easy Alvin is the perfect slim-fit chino - fitted with a bit of room around the legs, making it look neat and fit very comfortably. Due to the bamboo content in the denim, these chinos will initially feel a bit itchy. But with wearing the protruding bamboo fibers on the inside will wear off, and the comfort will increase.

As with all dry denim, we recommend at least 6 months of daily wear before the first wash. This is, of course, only a recommendation. Washing earlier and more frequently also renders great results, but make sure to either hand wash or use a gentle washing machine cycle. As long as you take care of your denim, it will, in turn, reward you with an evolving patina that very well might render the best looking washed denim you will ever have."
