Japan Blue’s Kouzo Shorts Contain 25% Washi Yarns

Riding out the remainder of summer is going to be tough without the right pair of shorts. And if you’re into denim, you might find yourself at a crossroads. Comfort or fades? Luckily with the Japan Blue Indigo Dyed “Kouzo” Shorts, you don’t need to choose.

Weighing in at a whopping 13.5oz, aka jean weight, these hems are a lot higher so you better warn people to wear shades when they see your untanned legs. Featuring wooden buttons and a copper zipper, no detail is missed on these slim-fit shorts ensuring they are as put together as any pant-length option.

But the biggest drawn from our POV is the construction. Made from 75% cotton, 25% washi fabric, Japanese handwriting paper has indeed found its way into the DNA of these jorts. Made from kozu shrubs, washi is celebrated for its durability, sheen, and deodorizing properties which means yes, get those unassisted fades going.

Available for $128 from Corlection.
