The Elephant 13 – Red Core is a revolutionary ultra-heavyweight 21oz Japanese selvedge denim, merging the weight of the iconic Elephant series with the innovative color-changing Color Core technology. This unique combination results in the first-ever heavyweight color core denim. Crafted from premium Japanese denim, renowned for its unique fading characteristics, the fabric is traditionally rope-dyed in indigo. However, unlike regular indigo denim that fades to reveal a white core, the Red Core uses a special process to achieve something remarkable.
Starting with white cotton yarns, a permanent reactive red dye saturates the core of each thread. These threads are then rope-dyed in indigo. As the denim wears and fades, instead of exposing a white core, it reveals a vibrant red hue, offering a striking and fresh take on denim fading. The thick, durable threads used in the Elephant 13 denim make this color reveal happen quicker and more boldly, giving denim enthusiasts an exciting, new fading experience. The fabric is stiff and heavy, staying true to the raw denim aesthetic, and will soften and develop character over time.
