NW8 Slim 14oz Japanese Selvedge
Blackhorse Lane · £295
Worth being NRY provisional
£295 for the slim NW8 in 14oz Japanese selvedge, made in London with the same curved waistband as the NW1. This is the British-made pair to buy if you want a slim leg, and the £30 over the NW1 buys Japanese denim rather than Italian, which fades with more contrast. Blackhorse Lane repair their own jeans.
- For
- Someone who wants a slim British-made pair and cares where the denim was woven.
- Not for
- Anyone who prefers an even, quiet fade: Japanese denim does the opposite.
What we checked
- The NW8 uses the same curved waistband in a cut that is wider at the top block. Blackhorse Lane Ateliers
