The 1950 AWA from Kicking Mule Workshop is a very rare jean-- only 50 pairs of this artisan jean were produced. The nuance of the slubby, rigid, 17oz purple selvage denim comes from the weaving and dyeing processes. The tradition of the AWA dye method consists of yarn dipped in "sukumo" and wrung out multiple times by a skilled artisan's hand. This process continues for several months, allowing the indigo to reach deep into the cotton yarn. The AWA is an exploration in the creative process of "making". Limited Edition.

CONTEXT Expert Tip: Do not size down as you would for most raw denim. This denim is woven extremely tight and will not stretch like most raw selvage denim.
