At long last, Freenote has a proprietary denim that's here to stay. Developed by Freenote and produced by Kaihara Mills in Japan, this is a 100% cotton, indigo-dyed 14.5oz Japanese selvedge denim. Woven at high tension, the outer warp threads feature a dark indigo dye, while the mostly obscured inner weft threads are white - giving the jeans an especially dark appearance initially, but leading to more dramatic fading as the white threads start to become visible beneath the indigo.

These are a proper high rise, straight leg jean with plenty of room all around. It's the most straight leg fit in Freenote's lineup, having only the tiniest bit of taper (a fraction of an inch) between the knee and leg opening. The Belford is the sort of fit that's easy and comfortable to just exist in, fitting well, but never being restrictive.

The rest of the details are exactly what we've come to expect from Freenote: custom copper hardware, Japanese herringbone pocket bags, tonal "antique gold" selvedge ticker and all custom labels (woven and leather). Construction-wise there are no surprises either, with durable flat-felled seams and Freenote's signature 1/8" double needle stitching accents keeping the whole thing held together.

True to size. Sanforized, so minimal shrink with a cold wash and hang dry.
