Why We Love It: The Kawataro Selvedge is a fresh greencast interpretation of our legendary Japan Heritage denim. It draws inspiration from Kawataro, the mischievous Japanese river God, also known as Kappa. Kappa is notoriously famous for his love of cucumbers, sumo wrestling, and playful trickery. Crafted from 14.5oz Japanese Selvedge denim, the Kawataro Selvedge features a distinctly slubby, uneven texture created through low-tension weaving and the use of irregularly-shaped slub yarns. The yarns are rope-dyed in indigo, and due to their unique shape, the dye penetrates unevenly thus resulting in varied absorption across the fabric. As the denim fades with wear, it reveals a striking spectrum of indigo shades, producing high-contrast, three-dimensional fades.

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.
We offer shipping through Canada Post, UPS, FedEx, and Purolator. Please allow 2 to 3 business days for order processing. Orders that require hemming may take an additional 2 to 3 days. For in-store pickup, verify stock availability under the 'find in store' tab. If stock needs to be transferred between stores, please note that processing will take an extra 7 business days.
