8.25" Cut - 22 Oz Sandstorm Selvedge Kaihara

Description

When the wind kicks up so fierce it grabs hold of the desert floor and throws sand and dirt into the sky like the earth’s tryin’ to tear itself apart, ya know the Sandstorm is comin’! If you’re ridin’ the range and see a wall of dust stretchin’ from the ground, you better hunker down and wait it out. ‘Cause when the sandstorm rolls in, even the bravest soul learns what it means to respect the power of the land.

Our Sandstorm Selvedge also has this bar-none ability to swap all those fast, light, n’ cheap-quality denim plague away. Weighted at 22 Ounces / Sq. Yards, this newest addition in the OLDBLUE HEAVY-VILLE means nothing but some serious heavy business. We left it in its original loom-state condition so you can experience every ounce of its weight and every inch of its texture.

We’ve been wranglin’ heavy-weight denim (and by heavy, we mean above 20 ounces kind of heavy) since 2011. Yes, our heavy denim history goes way back. Back in the days when some of you still tried to figure out how to fit on those skin-tight elastane-filled jawnz into yer legs, we already came out with the first-ever heavy-weight denim, proudly made here in this country. And this right here, is yet another proud chapter in that story.

The denim fabric itself was woven in one of the world’s most prestigious quality Denim Mills, Kaihara Mills in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan. We then utilized our signature 8.25″ Cut for the denim build. Our ever-trusted slim straight Cut that’s been holdin’ its ground for over 15 years — as dependable and versatile as ever.

The real story sometimes lies in the details. We went and custom-developed our fasteners with Scovill, a name as old and trusted as the trail itself. Every rivet and button you see is stamped with purpose. They don’t just hold — it’s like they lock the whole story into place. Then there’s that particular leather patch. We use genuine horsehide from Horween, one of the oldest tanneries still standin’. That patch ain’t just for show. It’s a marker of authenticity, made to age with you, carry the sweat and sun of your journey. And lastly, come out lookin’ better for it.
