12oz Japanese Wabash
-The name ‘wabash’ comes from the Indian Wabash tribe of the American mid-west. They modified workwear staples that were made of denim and then traded them to the white men who worked in manual labor positions as ‘decorated workwear’. Wabash looks like quite a formal fabric, but in fact, it was commonly used for workwear from the early 1800s through to the early 1900s, very often as uniforms for the massive US railroads workforce.
