Kai D. Skillman Raw Selvage Jean

Posted on September 26, 2014

Raw denim is considered as a “blank slate” for each wearer to carve his or her own life onto. While it often takes months or years of dedication, the end result is worth it in the form of a piece of clothing that is yours and yours alone. To me this is how the clothing should age instead of being pre-faded by the manufacturer.  Not to mention all the wastage in water to pre-fade the jeans.  It took about three months research comparing various raw denim.  I finally decided on this 13.5 oz ring ring denim from a Japanese mill.  The indigo is deep with a slight texture.  The Ring Spun yarn is a type of yarn created by rolling rather than pressing the fibers into shape.  It has an uneven look and will fade with a more uneven contrast than the open end denim  Ring-ring denim differs from ring-spun denim in that the ring-spun yarn is used for both the warp and weft during the weaving process.

Kai D. Fall 2014 Preview

Posted on July 15, 2014

I have been working on new silhouettes for Fall jackets for the past few months and the protos are nearly finalized to go into production.  The Redfield Jacket (in Rust color) is a hybrid of a shooting jacket and a barn coat.  It has a detachable self belt which is usually tied on the back waist.  The chest welt pocket has a zipper closure.  The lining is a soft cotton flannel.  The shell fabric is in wax cotton.
