Overview
Quality meets durability. Selvedge denim is woven on traditional narrow-width shuttle looms and produces a signature self-finished clean edge – and “self-edge” is where the name “selvedge” comes from. You can identify a pair of selvedge jeans by looking at the inside of the out seam. When you roll the pant leg, you’ll find this crisp strip with a stripe down the middle, and this artful and functional detail (it won’t unravel!) is what sets selvedge denim apart from the rest.
