From the designer William B. (a high-end designer who uses mostly Italian goods, and I think also produces for other high-end lines), this is a fantastic heavier weight denim, very soft and malleable, not at all stiff, but definitely more of a winter weight. The color is a very dark blue-black denim and the reverse is a taupe color which filters through to the right side a bit, adding an upscale trendy look. Make fitted skirts, jeans, jackets. Hand or machine wash in cold water, hang to dry.
