Kamikaze Attack “Mach Kamikaze” 14.21oz Zimbabwe Cotton Selvedge Jeans – Slim Straight, One-Wash
Kamikaze Attack – "Mach Kamikaze" (14.21oz Indigo Selvedge, One‑Wash)
The Mach Kamikaze is Kamikaze Attack's signature slim‑straight — a 14.21oz indigo selvedge denim woven from extra long staple Zimbabwe cotton at low tension to create a crisp, slightly neppy surface with a slightly sharper hand feel than the Home Run that will soften with wear. The fabric is unsanforised, giving it natural depth and character, but each pair is one‑washed at the workshop to remove the major shrink and stabilise the fit.
The denim carries a deep, punchy indigo tone with a subtle vertical grain. It's built for contrast: whiskers that cut in early, thighs that brighten quickly, and a long fade arc that rewards daily wear.
Every pair is cut and sewn entirely in‑house at the Kamikaze Attack workshop in Kojima. Production is intentionally slow — reduced loom speed, careful handling, and a stubborn commitment to doing everything themselves. It's denim made the old way, by a small team who still work one garment at a time.
The silhouette is a slim‑straight with a slightly narrower hem than the Home Run. The top block is fitted but has slightly more room in the seat and thigh, giving the jean a clean, modern line while still carrying the workshop's handmade character. It's the Kamikaze Attack cut for people who want shape without losing authenticity.
This is a highly limited run. Restocks won't be until at least Autumn 2027.

Fit Notes
The Mach Kamikaze has a slim‑straight leg with a fitted top block and a slightly narrower hem than the Home Run. Despite the slim sillhouette there is room in the top block and thigh. We recommend sizing up one size from your normal western size. Stretch in the waist will be between 1 and 2.5cm in the first 10 wears, with little change elsewhere.
Because the denim is unsanforised but one‑washed, shrinkage is minimal going forward. Expect only small changes depending on washing method and batch variation.

Maker Story
Kamikaze Attack is a garage workshop in Kojima with a punk heart and a sense of humour that runs through everything they make. Kanazawa‑san and Noriko work at their own pace — slow, stubborn, and entirely in‑house. They don't chase trends, they don't chase volume, and they certainly don't chase restock schedules. When a batch is finished, it's finished. When it's gone, it's gone.
Behind the attitude is a deep commitment to quality and design. Every pattern is their own, refined quietly over years. Every garment is cut, sewn, and finished inside the workshop, one piece at a time. Their denim is woven slowly to create character, and their silhouettes are built with intention rather than fashion cycles.
