Close Up: Purist - Japanese Denim

April 25, 2016 Jill Lawrence

Niche Japanese denim brand Kioto uses raw rigid denim for you to personally wear in. Do not wash for as long as possible - even up to a year. The denim will wear in naturally with the starch dissipating over time and the indigo wearing off in the shape of your body. Making the jeans perfectly yours.
