Hold onto your selvedge, denim-loving brothers. Realign Denim continues to impress with their new drop, “Our Ode to Japanese Denim.”

And with the steady resurgence of the raw denim game, the time couldn't be better— this collection is created by some of the world's most fervent denimhead/experts/makers, and it's a stitched love letter to all things indigo, built in the denim mecca of Japan.

Since its inception in 2021, Realign has been all about no-compromise craftsmanship, steadily building solid street cred among denim purists. They're teaming up with some of Japan’s finest (Japan Blue Company and Collect Mills) to create jeans that are more than just fabric—they're essential pieces on your road to personal glory. The founder’s reverence for Japanese artisan techniques is the lifeblood that pumps through each of these meticulously crafted pieces.

The collection is anchored by the Regular Kenji, a fit so dialed-in you’d think Hermes himself stitched them for trips around the 7 kingdoms. But the mouthwatering color of the new Double Indigo and the promise of 17 oz. Atsude Selvedge are not to be missed, and I'd be hard pressed to decide which one to snag first.

Expect meticulous details—like indigo-dyed deerskin patches and snazzy custom buttons—that serve up major vintage vibes with a refreshingly minimalist twist.

Step right up and meet the soon-to-be-icons, Realign's new releases:

Regular Kenji 14 oz. Double Indigo II:

An instant classic featuring indigo that’s deeper than the midnight sky. Regular fit, medium rise, and made from primo American and Aussie cotton, this denim starts with a regal purple hue that transforms into stunning blues and whites—like watching daybreak in fabric form.

This one is a can't-miss.

Regular Kenji 14 oz. Double Indigo II
Our second double indigo denim, the 14 oz. Double Indigo II features rich indigo tones in both the warp and the weft yarns. This combination creates an incredibly deep and dark denim that fades beautifully. The Double Indigo II denim has been woven from a combination of American and Australian cotton that has been rope dyed in pure indigo. When fresh off the rack, the denim has a purple-ish hue. As the denim fades, purple becomes vibrant blue. In time, the blue gives way to white in areas of stress, leading to stunning contrast fades.

Regular Kenji 17 oz. Atsude Selvedge:

Whoa, mama. Massive, mythic, and melt-in-your-hands comfy, this is Realign’s boldest weave yet. With a loose, slubby texture, the Atsude offers a gateway portal into the realms of high-contrast fades—get ready to turn heads and maybe break a few hearts.

Regular Kenji 17 oz. Atsude Selvedge
With the 17 oz. Atsude Selvedge fabric, we added a new and heavier denim to our selvedge lineup. We loved the fabric at first sight. Woven from slub yarns in Kojima, Japan, this fabric boasts a unique character and a typically Japanese structure. The loosely woven heavyweight is surprisingly comfortable, giving a surprisingly comfortable selvedge experience from day one. The rope-dyed slub yarns add oceans of depth to the 17 oz. Atsude Selvedge denim and help produce fantastic high-low contrast fading. Given enough time and wear, this denim will become a true show-stopper!

Regular Kenji 14.5 oz. Osaka Denim:

As approachable as a Sapporo sunset, with a pink selvedge line that pops. It’s unwashed but unbelievably soft, perfect for those all-day adventures with minimal break-in blues.

Regular Kenji 14.5 oz. Osaka Denim
The 14.5 oz. Osaka Denim takes us back to the early days of Japanese denim. With its hairy and structured surface, Osaka Denim draws both hand and eye thanks to its eye-catching pink selvedge line and its beautifully deep and dark blue color with a gray cast. Although the fabric comes unwashed, it is soft and comfortable from day one. Easy to wear for long stretches, the 14.5 oz. denim is primed for beautiful all-over fades. The perfect mid-weight denim for all-year-round wear, Osaka Denim will be the perfect introduction to the world of well-made selvedge for raw denim newcomers!

Get it while it lasts.
