Why We Love It: This fabric is truly a labor of love. 8 years ago, Freenote found a vintage roll of selvedge with a unique pale blue colour from an unknown mill. Nicknamed “G.I. Blue”, recreating this incredible fabric has been a passion project of theirs. While they were never able to find the original manufacturer of the denim, they learned that the pale blue colour was most likely an invention of necessity in the midst of wartime rationing. After 8 years of trial and error, they were finally able to create a faithful reproduction of “G.I. Blue” with the help of Yoshiwa Mills in Japan. Weighing in at 12oz, this is the perfect summer time raw denim.

Orders shipping to USA
Orders being shipped to the United States are not exempt from "tariffs", however, the "de minimis exemption" allows for orders under $800.00 USD to enter the United States tax & duty free.
The current administration in the United States is attempting to remove the "de minimis exemption", which if successful, would result in our US based customers paying a 25% tariff, sales tax, and brokerage.
No word yet on when this change may take place. All fees related to tariffs, duties, and brokerage are the responsibility of the customer.
