RNB-102S 15oz Slim Tapered
Kojima Genes · £199
Worth being NRY provisional
£199 and the cheapest way into proper Japanese selvedge, at 15oz in a slim straight with a mid rise. Fifteen ounces is heavier than most people expect their first raw pair to be, and it is the weight that rewards the breaking in: thinner denim fades sooner and wears through sooner too. Copper rivets punched through rather than crimped on.
- For
- Someone buying their first raw selvedge pair who wants the real thing rather than a taste of it.
- Not for
- Anyone who wants jeans comfortable on day one: this takes a couple of months.
What we checked
- A slim straight, mid rise, 15oz selvedge with punched-through copper rivets. Son of a Stag
