Provides dependable support while remaining lightweight

Century Denim is a line of fabric introduced by Kapital in 2012 as a way to push the boundaries even further.

Kapital employs four factories for the production of their Century Denim, each providing distinct advantages. This entails diverse spinning, dyeing, weaving, and finishing processes, executed with individualized precision for the fabric's benefit. As for the warp, weft, and sashiko threads, these are spun differentially to deliver distinct texture and tension before being separately rope-dyed. Finally, a secretive weaving method exclusively used by Kapital completes the process.

What gives Century Denim No.5 its unique colour is the use of Kakishibu dye for the main denim. Kakishibu is a muddy brown dye derived from fermented unripe persimmons, which are aged for two years. The qualities of Kakishibu-dyed fabrics are intriguing with insect-repellent properties, natural water-repellency and a resilience to mould. Perfect for those who don't like to wash their denim often.
