Crowdfunding kings Gustin are back with some serious summer-ready Japanese selvedge jeans. Yes, you read that right, summer-ready selvedge — their 351 Japan Featherweight comes in at just 6 oz.
Having once produced a pair of 26 oz. jeans, Gustin are no strangers to exploring the limits of selvedge, but these are on the complete other end of the spectrum. The 351 Japan Featherweights definitely don’t shirk on what makes Japanese raw denim special — the indigo warp and white weft produce an unmistakably vintage look. They also have a starched base, meaning that they will start to crease and set in after just a couple of wears. All this while being a similar weight to the linen chambray that Gustin has on offer.
You can choose between four fits: Vintage Straight, Straight, Slim and Skinny. Just select what you’re most comfortable in, the easy, breezy denim will keep you in selvedge all summer long.
As always, Gustin is also crowdfunding the 351 Japan Featherweights so they can produce the exact amount they need to, whilst keeping production in the US. This keeps costs down and quality up.
Available for backing now at Gustin for $169, with an expected shipping date of June/July 2025.
