Overview
A western work shirt, hardened for what follows.
The Badlands Kuroki Denim Shirt takes a foundational American silhouette and drives it further into restraint, durability, and intent. Familiar in form but unsentimental in execution, it’s built as a working layer for environments where longevity matters more than appearance - and where gear earns its place over time.
Constructed from lightweight Japanese denim woven at Kuroki Mills, the 7.7 oz/yd² 2×1 twill delivers a denser, more substantial hand than traditional shirting denim while remaining comfortable for extended wear. The added weight introduces structure and resilience without sacrificing mobility, allowing the fabric to break in gradually and develop character through real use rather than artificial distress.
Finished in Ghoul Black, the colorway absorbs light rather than reflecting it - deep, restrained, and intentionally stark. Designed to fade slowly with wear, Ghoul Black reveals its history over time, marking movement, exposure, and endurance without spectacle.
Classic snaps at the center front, sleeve plackets, cuffs, and chest pocket flaps provide fast, reliable operation with a clean, low-profile interface - reducing bulk while improving ease of use in layered systems. Front and back yokes reinforce durability while preserving the western lineage without ornamentation. Dual chest patch pockets offer practical storage, balanced for everyday carry without disrupting the line of the garment.
A drop-tail hem improves coverage in motion, while the two-piece sleeve construction and single-button barrel cuffs maintain structure without restricting movement. Single- and double-needle stitching throughout reinforces high-stress seams, ensuring long-term durability under real-world conditions.
The Badlands Kuroki Denim Shirt in Ghoul Black is denim beyond nostalgia - quietly severe, purpose-built, and designed for the demanding when the landscape turns unforgiving.
Exceptional Durability
Lightweight 6.5 oz/yd² denim woven at Kurabo Mills delivers a balanced hand - structured yet mobile - engineered for comfort during long wear and layered systems. The 2×1 twill construction offers durability without excess weight, allowing the fabric to break in naturally over time.
GHOUL BLACK
A deep, near-black denim inspired by survival beyond the first impact. Ghoul Black absorbs light rather than reflecting it - subdued, utilitarian, and unapologetically stark. Designed to fade slowly and develop character through hard use, not artificial distress.
