Description
Kapital's Century Denim is one of their signature fabrics- a completely proprietary Sashiko topstitched denim available in a variety of unique patterns and dye combinations. Sashiko (literally "little stabs") is a form of stitching that was initially utilized functionally to repair or reinforce damaged fabric, eventually growing popular for decorative purposes as well.
The specific weaving process to create this denim is one of Kapital's trade secrets, but we do know that it's produced in a single pass, with the fabric being made on one loom (rather than several). Woven with 100% cotton yarns, it's stiffer than other denim fabrics of comparable weight thanks to the topstitching, requiring a bit more wear before fully breaking in. Though it is sanforized (essentially, treated for shrinkage), it comes raw and unwashed, and will shrink very slightly, between 1-3% overall after washing the first time.
The No. 5S Century Denim fuses classic American denim manufacturing with Japanese kakishibu dyeing – a process using fermented persimmon juice that yields an almost terracotta color – and then, just for good measure, adds on sashiko stitch weaving throughout the fabric. The sashiko on this fabric uses rope-dyed indigo to give a unique hand feel and appearance to the denim. Over time, the kakishibu dye will fade to a brighter orange hue, which, along with the indigo fading of the sashiko stitching, will lead to some pretty interesting wear patterns.
The Monkey fit is an update to the original Cisco fit. The rise is higher, the seat and thighs are fuller, and there's a slight taper below the knee. These will still fit over a pair of boots comfortably. Overall, it sits somewhere between a slim-straight fit and a natural tapered fit, following the shape of your leg without being too snug or too loose anywhere.
These fit about one full size, or 2", small through the waist. We suggest choosing one size up from your usual waist for the best fit. See our measurements or contact us for help with sizing. Wash cold and hang dry.
