M101 (001) 14OZ WAIST OVERALL SEA ISLAND WIDE STRAIGHT
The use of American Sea Island cotton in denim is exceptionally uncommon.
What exactly is Sea Island cotton?
American Sea Island Cotton is an exceptionally scarce type of cotton, with only 0.000004% of it being harvested globally.
It has been used by the British Royal Court since the late 16th century, and its rarity has prevented its export to other countries.
This top-quality Sea Island cotton boasts the world's longest and finest fibers.
However, cultivation of this cotton ended in 1922 due to pest damage.
Nearly a century later, American Sea Island cotton was reintroduced in 2017 using cotton with the same DNA, grown in fields that are part of the ”Better Cotton Initiative" (BCI), ensuring traceability to the final product.
Spinning
The yarn is spun with a high blend (70-80%) of fallen cotton, produced when American Sea Island cotton is spun, mixed with virgin Sea Island cotton to maintain yarn strength.
Woven fabrics
The fabric is meticulously and densely woven on a traditional power loom (shuttle loom).
14OZ SELVEDGE
With over 70% fallen Sea Island cotton, the standout feature of this denim is its nep feeling, uneven and rugged appearance, and the beautiful luster reminiscent of spun yarn from the early days of denim in the 1880s.
