Crafted with purpose and precision in Akita, Japan, the Akita Taper Écru Denim by Edwin USA is a masterclass in heritage craftsmanship. Made from exclusive 13.5oz Japanese rainbow selvage denim, these jeans celebrate post-war era techniques with slow-woven construction and a richly textured finish that tells a story with every wear.
The natural ecru tone is achieved using small-batch cotton, complete with subtle flecks from leaves and seed particles—highlighting the fabric’s raw, organic origins. Edwin’s signature rainbow selvage adds a vibrant edge to the timeless 3x1 weave, which offers excellent breathability and a soft hand feel that evolves beautifully over time.
Designed with a modern tapered leg, this fit gently narrows from the knee down for a clean, contemporary silhouette. Built to be worn raw, these jeans will develop a personalized patina unique to your lifestyle. For those planning to wash, consider sizing up to accommodate minimal shrinkage.
