I pre-ordered and purchased these from a Levi's authorized store around October 2024. *Reservations are no longer being accepted.* I did a one-wash with denim detergent on the raw denim, starched them, and wore them for a year, and they've finally matured to this point!! Kaihara denim is quite difficult to fade. I recently visited the authorized store, and the staff complimented me, saying they were amazing. I also frequently sun-dried them, which I think was effective. They have a very vintage feel!! Highly recommended for those who want to buy time. Whiskers and honeycombs are starting to appear.
