Norman Porter x Old North Left Hand Twill Jeans

In celebration of both Old North’s new store as well as their second anniversary, they’re debuting a new collab jean with Philadelphia’s Norman Porter. The jeans are made of a 13oz. left hand twill from Kurabo Mills which has been dyed with natural indigo so you can expect a faster fade.

With the rise of synthetic indigo having taken place in the late 1800s to the early 1900s, clothing that’s been dyed with natural indigo is consequently harder to find today. Thus, the collaboration is extremely limited having only produced a total of 30 pairs. If you want to get your hands on the real stuff, you’d better act quick.
