Freenote 'Belford' 14.5oz Kaihara Selvedge Jeans – Classic Straight

The Belford Straight is where Freenote Cloth’s denim story truly begins. This is their most honest and uncompromising jean – built around a classic straight silhouette that feels timeless the moment you put it on. High rise, generous through the thigh, and falling clean and straight to the hem, the Belford is designed to be worn hard and lived in, not fussed over.

At its core is a proprietary 14.5oz selvedge denim from Kaihara Mills, woven at high tension with a deep indigo warp and white weft. The fabric starts dark and dense, then gradually reveals high-contrast fades with wear – the kind that tell your story, not the other way around. Construction details like the two-piece waistband, tucked belt loops, and Japanese striped herringbone pocket bags reflect Freenote’s obsessive approach to durability and comfort.

Sewn in Southern California with custom copper hardware and finished with an SB Tanning Co leather patch, the Belford 14.5oz Kaihara is easy to wear, hard to replace, and built for the long run. Its clean, no-nonsense silhouette feels just as at home cuffed with worn-in sneakers as it does stacked over engineer boots. It’s no coincidence that the cut is often associated with Mike Ness, frontman of the legendary Southern California punk band Social Distortion – a musician known for blending punk attitude with classic American roots, outlaw country, and rockabilly influences. Much like Ness’ style on and off stage, the Belford Straight stands for authenticity, longevity, and doing things your own way.
