The Día de los Muertos Selvedge is a 12.5oz Japanese selvedge denim inspired by Mexico's vibrant Day of the Dead tradition. Woven in Okayama, Japan on vintage shuttle looms, it uses rope-dyed short slub yarns to create a textured surface that develops dramatic, high-contrast vertical fades over time. Made from 100% Mexican upland cotton, this denim pays tribute to its roots with a multicolor selvedge edge inspired by traditional Mexican sarape blankets. Additional details include contrast stitching, silver metallic hardware, and a vegetable-tanned leather patch and pocket flasher featuring original artwork by Mexico City tattoo artist José Ruiz (aka Koopa). His illustration depicts the bat—in Día de los Muertos, the bat represents Camazotz, the Mayan bat god or "death bat," associated with the afterlife, darkness, and rebirth.
