S-003 - 11 oz - beige/brown selvage denim
white/red selvage line - from Nihonmenpu, Japan
1 × 50 cm = 50 cm Gesamtlänge
This reactive-dyed selvage denim from Japan weighs 11 oz and is ideal for lighter jeans, jackets, overshirts, or summer accessories. In this weight range, the fabric combines pleasant flexibility with sufficient stability—a versatile foundation for projects that demand both lightness and substance.
The denim is unwashed and appears clearly structured and shape-retaining when new, yet significantly more supple than classic 14 oz qualities. With increased wear, the material becomes softer and adapts comfortably without losing its defined silhouette. The result is a lively yet controlled appearance with a fine patina.
The reactive dyeing creates a light beige-brown tone with an even, durable color effect. Unlike natural indigo-dyed variants, the focus here is less on strong contrast fading and more on the quiet, elegant aging of the material.
The fabric is made by Nihonmenpu in Okayama—one of the most important regions for high-quality denim in Japan. Traditional shuttle looms are used there to create fabrics with an authentic texture and a precise, clearly defined appearance.
Thanks to its moderate weight, the 11 oz selvage is particularly pleasant to work with. A size 80-90 jeans needle is generally sufficient; however, a reduced sewing speed is recommended for multi-layered sections.
The last photo exemplifies the fabric's development over extended wear—a subtle, harmonious change that subtly underscores the character of this light selvage.

Please do not wash the denim before processing. As unwashed "raw selvage," the fabric only develops its characteristic structure and fit through wear.
Wash the finished garment only after complete assembly. The respective length and width shrinkage values should therefore be taken into account during pattern making and sizing planning.
