S-008 - 14.5 oz - dark indigo selvage denim
red/white selvage line - from Kuroki, Japan
1 × 50 cm = 50 cm Gesamtlänge
This Japanese selvage denim, with a weight of 14.5 oz, stands for substance, depth, and artisanal presence. It is ideal for durable jeans and jackets that are deliberately designed to showcase a substantial material quality and a distinctive surface.
At 14.5 oz, this fabric is one of the sturdier classic qualities. In its new condition, the unwashed denim is firm, shape-retaining, and substantial. The medium-heavy structure gives the fabric a lively texture without appearing busy. Subtle irregularities in the yarn provide depth and an authentic, artisanal feel.
With prolonged wear, the material develops a noticeable suppleness and adapts individually. The more pronounced surface structure creates expressive creasing and high-contrast fading, giving the fabric a powerful patina.
The striking red-and-white woven edge adds a classic accent and refers to traditional production on narrow loom machines. The fabric is made by Kuroki in Okayama—one of Japan's most renowned regions for high-quality selvage denim.
Despite its heavier weight, the 14.5 oz denim can be sewn with a well-adjusted, sturdy domestic sewing machine. A size 90–100 jeans needle is recommended; when sewing multi-layered flat-felled seams, it is advisable to work at a reduced speed.
The final photo exemplifies how the fabric develops over prolonged wear—a striking, high-contrast patina that impressively highlights the structure and depth of this 14.5 oz 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.
