Built from the same 12oz Japanese whipcord Iron Heart uses on its heaviest outerwear, this waist bag is cut from hard-twisted cotton yarns woven in a twill construction, with both warp and weft sulphur-dyed before weaving. That dyeing process is what gives the fabric its slow, honest fade over months of wear and washing — the same vintage-character ageing you'd expect from a pair of their raw denim, just carried onto a bag built to take a daily beating.
