S-016 - 13 oz - neppy natural indigo selvage denim
white selvage line - from Nihonmenpu, Japan
1 × 50 cm = 50 cm Gesamtlänge
This 13 oz selvage denim from Japan is made by Nihon Menpu in Ibara and features a natural indigo hue with 13% linen. The combination of cotton and linen gives the fabric a vibrant texture, while the characteristic "noppies"—small tufts of white yarn on the surface—add extra character and a rustic, artisanal look to the weave.
In its new condition, the denim feels firm and slightly stiff, as is typical for unwashed raw selvage fabrics. With continued wear, the material develops a pleasant suppleness while retaining its distinctive noppy texture and the subtle color variation of the natural indigo.
The white woven edge adds a classic accent that blends harmoniously into a variety of designs. Despite its striking surface texture, the fabric remains easy to work with and is ideal for jeans, jackets, overshirts, or accessories that are meant to showcase character, depth, and an artisanal touch.
Thanks to its 13 oz weight, the denim 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 seams.
The final photo shows how the fabric develops over extended wear—the noppy texture and subtle indigo depth create a unique, vibrant patina that highlights the special character of this denim.

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.
