The MIJ18 Mezuki Selvedge takes its name from Mezu, the horse-headed guardian of the underworld who, alongside his ox-headed counterpart Gozu, serves as one of the chief torturers and punishers of the wicked in Japanese Buddhist folklore. Said to be the first beings encountered upon entering hell, the pair stand watch at its gates, escorting souls to their final judgement. Should a soul somehow escape, it is Mezu and Gozu who are sent to bring it back.
True Guy is a relaxed straight fit with a high rise. Comfortable through the seat, hips, and thighs, it has a straight leg from thigh to hem.

That ever-present duality is reflected in the fabric itself. Woven from 16oz slubby Japanese selvedge denim, black warp yarns conceal a beige weft beneath. Like the hidden presence of Gozu beside Mezu, the second character of the fabric remains unseen at first, only gradually revealing itself through wear. As the black warp fades, the beige weft emerges, creating bold, high-contrast fades with exceptional depth.
The heavily slubbed yarns create an irregular surface that enhances the denim’s texture and fading potential over time. A Tempi treatment prevents the fabric’s residual shrinkage while preserving the crisp hand and aging characteristics expected of raw denim.

After the sizing mishap, aka Tailortapegate, and a week stuck in FedEx Memphis, I was nervous about these, but fears were unfounded. These are some of my best-fitting jeans, and the fabric is everything I could have wanted. My new favorite black jeans by a mile. I just wish I had a 6th star to give.
love the texture
The N&F jeans (and store as a whole) are fantastic. Excellent business and people.
Soft texture, beautiful material, nice roomy fit.
Excellent
I have a few pairs of your MIJ and these might be my favorite so far. The hairy textured and nep are amazing. They look so clean.
I have to say.. the fabric on these jeans are 2nd to none. If you could put in a pair of black denim everything i would want... these are it.. Perfect weight, slub and hairy texture. Love these
nice pair
Beige weft is very beautiful!😍
Perfect!
Came in perfect condition. Noticed there's a new little feature for hemming which I think I did correctly but it may have been my mistake. Didn't get hemmed but not the end of the world took it to my local tailor and fixed it no problem.
