Japanese cotton denim with a classic red selvedge. A classic slubby denim that would work well for nearly all our patterns.

Kojima is suitable for the following patterns in our Workbook: Strides and Haremere.

• 114cm wide, 320gsm or 11oz.
• 100% cotton
• For colour accuracy we always recommend ordering a swatch – click the ‘buy’ tab and then ‘add sample to cart’.
• Fabric can be ordered in 10cm increments. The minimum order is half a metre. For example, if you want 2.8m’s this is what you type in the box.

We recommend pre washing your cloth before sewing. Putting a large piece of medium-heavy weight cloth into the washing machine can sometimes lead to white creases in the cloth, this is because it is a stiff fabric so it doesn’t have room to move around. We recommend doing the following to help this not to happen:

• Wash your cloth on its own for the first wash.
• Sink your cloth in water before hand, letting it fully absorb, so you are putting in the cloth already wet.
• If you can break up your fabric into half this will help.
• For the first wash use a delicate 30 degree cycle with a low spin.
• If any white creases develop ironing whilst still damp will help.
• Do not tumble dry.

When you have made the garment we would recommend washing it inside out.
