Freenote Cloth - 13 ounce Natural Indigo Denim

The 13 ounce Natural Indigo Denim is based on one of the first fabrics we ever worked with at Freenote. Two years ago Co-founder Matt set out for Japan on a research and development trip to recreate a custom version of this denim produced by the legendary Kuroki Mills. This time around we went with a tinted weft for a darker hue and left the fabric unsinged for a slightly hairy texture reminiscent of deadstock vintage denim. Limiting some of the finishing steps gives it a nostalgic look of denim produced a long time ago. The denim features a slow weave 7x7 construction that takes the mill a full year to weave. After cutting and sewing, each pair is rinsed and hang dried individually. It is a labor intensive process ensuring the 100% natural indigo is treated with the ultimate respect. The 13 ounce weight is substantial but on the lighter side making it a solid choice for the warmer months ahead. The 13 Ounce Natural Indigo Denim is available now in the Portola, Wilkes, Belford, and Modesto.
