Kapital 14 Oz Denim 5P Bone Embroidery ShortsLight Indigo

Product Description

The Kapital 14 Oz Denim 5P Bone Embroidery Shorts in Light Indigo are a premium handcraft denim piece from Japanese brand Kapital, the Okayama-based label founded by Toshikiyo Hirata in 1984 that has developed one of the most respected and most culturally distinctive denim and heritage Americana product ranges in contemporary fashion through its combining of traditional Japanese indigo textile traditions with American workwear and folk craft references. The 14 Oz designation indicates a heavy-weight denim construction at 14 ounces per square yard, placing this short at the heavier and more structured end of the denim weight spectrum that is associated with the most durable and most character-developing indigo jeans in the traditional Japanese selvage denim tradition, with heavier denim producing more pronounced fading patterns and deeper indigo contrast over extended wear. The Bone Embroidery detail applies hand-stitched embroidery in bone or off-white thread across the Light Indigo denim surface, referencing the Japanese sashiko and boro textile repair traditions alongside the American folk craft embellishment traditions that Kapital consistently combines in its most distinctive and most collectible pieces. The 5P designation indicates a five-pocket construction following the standard jeans pocket configuration applied to shorts proportions, grounding the embroidery and heavyweight denim in the most universally recognized casual bottom format. Available through Kapital's retail locations and authorized Japanese and international lifestyle retailers globally.
