A new addition to the collection is the WH&CO 1001XX jeans. which I started wearing recently. These are spun 7x7, rather than the normal 7x6, which gives the denim an overall lighter shade. I believe this is because of the extra ecru weft yarn in the weaving, meaning there's an extra undyed and white thread being used; thus 7x7, and not the regular 7x6. The weight of the denim pre-wash is 13.5oz, making it slightly lighter and more suitable for a warmer climate. The cotton is 100 % sourced from Memphis USA, and the jean is 100 % cotton made; and it's all pure indigo, no underdyes used.
As if that's not enough, this pair of jeans has been through a specially developed oxidization process, which is intended to give the fabric the feel of an authentic vintage deadstock pair of jeans. Now for a look at this beauty:
