Description The Chinese New Year – Gold Ox is a 12.5oz Japanese selvedge denim celebrating the Year of the Ox in the Chinese Zodiac. Every year, one of the 12 Chinese Zodiac animals is associated with one of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, water, and metal. Because there are 12 Zodiac animals and 5 elements, each pairing is unique for 60 years. February 12th, 2021 is the beginning of a Metal Ox year. The denim itself is made from rope-dyed slub yarns that create a textured grain in the finished fabric. With time, the indigo will chip away to produce high-contrast vertical fades. Cut, sewn, built in Canada with contrast stitching, red pocket bags, a red and gold selvedge ID, a Natural Veg Tan Gold Foil Emboss leather patch, and silver metallic buttons and rivets.
