Quick summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Selvedge denim is valued for its durability, the character it develops with wear, and the selvedge ID line that shows when jeans are cuffed. The fabric is woven on vintage shuttle looms, many still running from decades ago. It costs more to produce, the looms run slower and weave narrower rolls. Japan produces most of the world’s selvedge fabric today<\/a>. Several Japanese and American jean brands build their collection around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
