They are attached together with tiny stab stitches at regular intervals, usually every centimetre, in a grid pattern, though this is barely visible.

It is made in a city with an abundance of natural spring water, which is used during the dyeing and processing and helps create a consistent and unique level of colour in their denim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSustainability and protecting the environment is very important to the mill, where they follows strict environmental standards for their use of water. Making sure that any water left over from their dye house is four times purified to drinking grade; ensuring it is safe for them to return to the river where the water irrigation systems are connected to the local vegetable fields and rice paddies, and later ending up in the Setonaikai sea. The factories are also run on 10% solar energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSold in 1\/2 yard increments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e100% cotton.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e10oz or 339gsm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e54\" wide.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCountry of origin; Japan.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWash at 30 degrees with a non bio detergent, on a low spin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSee photo gallery for washed sample.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe recommend pre washing your denim before sewing.
