These Tanuki High Tapered jeans are crafted from the brand’s renowned 15oz Indigo x Indigo selvedge denim, with both the warp and weft rope-dyed in rich indigo for an exceptionally deep, tonal blue. Woven on vintage shuttle looms using a low-tension technique, the fabric feels breathable and surprisingly soft despite its weight and slubby, uneven texture. This irregular character creates a stunning visual depth and results in high-contrast fades and snowy highlightsthat emerge quickly with wear.

The denim is made from 100% Texas cotton, chosen for its medium-staple fibers that combine durability with a vintage hand feel. Slub, nep, and visible white-core yarns contribute to the denim’s fast-aging properties—this fabric is considered one of the quickest fading double indigos on the market, offering a highly personal patina over time.

Cut in Tanuki’s High Tapered fit, these jeans feature a high rise, room in the thigh, and a sharp taper from the knee down, offering a flattering silhouette with modern comfort. Finishing details reflect Tanuki’s signature craftsmanship: the electric blue selvedge ID, custom copper buttons and rivets, peek-a-boo selvedge coin pocket, and a vegetable-tanned deerskin leather patch that darkens beautifully with wear. The Japanese herringbone cotton-lined pockets and electric blue inner seam thread add both durability and subtle visual flair.

Fit Notes: These jeans follow standard sizing, so we recommend choosing your usual size. As always, we suggest checking the size chart to ensure the best fit. While the denim is unsanforized, it has been one-washed, meaning you won’t experience any further shrinkage. The waist will stretch with wear—typical of Tanuki’s low-tension weave—so you can expect around 1 inch of stretch over time.
