GRAPHITE NON WASH

"Graphite" has been a staple in KURO's lineup since its founding. Crafted from 12.5oz selvedge denim by Ihara Orimono, a long-established fabric maker in Okayama Prefecture, this is the brand's signature slim straight denim, carefully tailored in Japan.

It features a slim straight silhouette that provides a comfortable fit around the waist while extending beautifully down to the hem. It achieves both a clean line and comfortable wear.

Its charm lies in the rich texture created by vintage shuttle looms, along with the color fading and aging that develops the more you wear it. It is a pair that has inherited KURO's DNA since its inception.

Material and Craftsmanship

Selvedge Denim by Ihara Orimono with Over 100 Years of History
Made from 12.5oz selvedge denim born from techniques cultivated for over 100 years in Okayama Prefecture. It boasts a deep character and excellent durability.

Woven on Vintage Shuttle Looms
By weaving slowly and carefully, the strain on the threads is minimized, realizing a plump, full texture and high durability.
