Description:
Crafted from premium 14.5 oz Japanese selvedge denim woven by the renowned Kaihara mill in Japan, our Double Black denim features both a black warp and black weft, creating a deep, rich black appearance throughout the fabric. Unlike traditional black denim with a white weft, this double black construction delivers a darker, more uniform finish with exceptional depth and character.
At 14.5 oz, this denim strikes an ideal balance between substantial weight, durability, and everyday comfort. It offers the structure and feel of traditional heavyweight raw denim without being overly heavy, making it a versatile choice for year round wear. As the denim breaks in, it gradually softens and develops subtle wear patterns while maintaining its distinctive dark appearance.
Woven in Japan and handcrafted in small batches at our Railcar Fine Goods factory in California, each pair is cut and sewn entirely in house with close attention to fit, construction, and durability. From fabric cutting to the final stitch, our jeans are built using traditional manufacturing techniques and vintage sewing machinery, bringing together exceptional Japanese denim and American craftsmanship.
Double black selvedge denim is a less common alternative to traditional indigo and black denim, making it an essential addition to any raw denim collection. Its rich black color offers a clean, versatile look that pairs effortlessly with just about anything, while the substantial 14.5 oz fabric provides the durability and character denim enthusiasts appreciate.
Whether you're adding your first pair of black selvedge jeans or expanding an established denim collection, Railcar's Double Black is a must have. A timeless combination of premium Japanese fabric, our signature fit, and American made craftsmanship, built to be worn often and enjoyed for years to come.
14.5 Ounce Double Black Japanese Selvedge:
Our 14.5 oz Japanese Double Black selvedge denim is woven by the renowned Kaihara mill, featuring a deep, inky black warp and weft for an exceptionally rich black appearance. This substantial raw denim offers the perfect balance of structure, durability, and everyday comfort while developing beautiful high contrast fades with wear. Due to its deeply saturated black dye, some color bleeding and transfer to lighter garments and surfaces should be expected, especially during the initial break in process. Handcrafted in small batches at our Railcar Fine Goods factory in California, this distinctive double black denim is built to age beautifully.
The Switcher Fit:
Cut with a full leg from the hip through the hem, the Switcher offers a straight, unrestricted profile without taper or gimmicks. This fit is inspired by early railroad and factory trousers, designed for long days, heavy use, and comfort that only improves with wear. The Switcher has a timeless 10" to 11" bottom opening depending on the size that is a perfect full leg, wide leg without being a trendy enormous leg fitment.
Sizing And Shrinkage Info:
After performing an in-house shrink test on this fabric, the results has minimal shrinkage. We recommend sizing to your normally bought size. Don't size up nor down. The waistband will shrink only .25 inch laying flat and the length will shrink 1 inch after machine wash and hang dry.
Designed To Reduce Leg Twist And Denim Torque:
Heavyweight raw denim can be more susceptible to visible leg twisting and torque as the fabric breaks in. Our jean patterns are carefully designed and balanced to greatly reduce these effects.
The leg pattern and construction help the denim fall naturally from the thigh through the leg, minimizing unwanted twisting as the jeans soften and conform to the body.
Cut And Sewn In-house In California, USA:
Every pair of Railcar Fine Goods denim jeans is manufactured in-house at our California workshop. The denim comes to us as raw yardage, and our own team handles the cutting, sewing, construction, finishing, and final inspection.
Keeping production in-house allows us to maintain control over fit, construction, and quality at every stage of manufacturing.
Delivery:
We have a limited quantity of this fabric on hand. Orders will be cut and sewn immediately, in the order they are received. Please allow a short 2-3 week delivery time after your order is placed.
Free Chain Stitch Hem:
Your Railcar comes with free chain stitch hemming to your desired length. If this is your first Railcar order, we highly recommend not requesting a custom hem on your jeans because your jeans will not qualify them to be exchanged or returned. If you know your Railcar size, you could request a hem by making a note in the note section when checking out or by email. All customized hemmed jeans are final sale.
