S-007 - 12.8 oz - black selvage denim
black selvage denim with white-red selvage edge
1 × 50 cm = 50 cm Gesamtlänge
This black selvage denim from Japan, weighing 12.7 oz, combines classic substance with striking expressiveness. It is ideal for jeans and jackets that possess a clean, minimalist aesthetic while also offering significant potential for development.
When new, unwashed denim is deep black, dimensionally stable, and slightly textured. With wear, the material develops a noticeable suppleness and adapts to the individual shape of the body. A characteristic of this quality is its strong fading potential: through movement, friction, and washing, the black dye gradually fades, developing nuanced shades of gray with clear contrasts. This creates a vibrant, urban patina that makes each garment unique.
The red and white selvedge adds a classic touch and references the traditional production on narrow shuttle looms. The fabric is produced by Kuroki in Okayama – one of the most important regions for high-quality selvage denim in Japan.
At 12.7 oz, the fabric falls comfortably into the mid-range: sturdy enough for durable constructions, yet still manageable during processing. A size 90 jeans needle is generally recommended; for multi-layered sections, the sewing speed should be adjusted accordingly.
The last photo exemplifies the development of the fabric over a longer period of wear - a powerful transition from deep black to nuanced shades of grey, which impressively underlines the character of this denim.

Please do not wash the denim before processing. As an unwashed "raw selvage" fabric, it only develops its characteristic structure and fit through wear.
Wash the finished garment only after it is completely sewn. The respective shrinkage values for length and width should therefore be taken into account during pattern construction and size planning.
