Denim Deal 3 - S-015 - 13 oz - antique blue selvage denim

Please note that this product is a pre-order, as the new shipment from Japan will arrive in July 2026. The longer wait time allows for significant discounts.

This natural indigo linen selvage denim from Japan weighs 13 oz and is made by Nihon Menpu in Ibara. With a 15% linen content, the fabric combines the classic indigo denim look with a unique texture and features striking vertical lines—a so-called "waterfall" structure that gives the fabric dynamic character.

When new, the denim feels firm and stiff, as is typical for unwashed raw selvage fabrics. The underside of the material has a natural beige tone that creates a subtle, warm contrast with the top side. With continued wear, the fabric develops a pleasant softness while retaining its distinctive vertical line structure.

The pronounced "waterfall" effects become particularly noticeable with wear and subsequent washing, giving the fabric a unique, vibrant patina. Despite its bold structure, the denim remains easy to work with and is suitable for jeans, jackets, or accessories designed to showcase texture and character.

Thanks to its 13 oz weight, the fabric can be sewn on a standard household sewing machine. A size 90 jeans needle is recommended; when sewing multi-layered flat-felled seams, the sewing speed should be reduced to achieve precise stitching.

The final photo shows how the fabric develops over extended wear—the striking waterfall structure, combined with the natural beige tone of the underside, creates a vibrant, distinctive patina.
