S-007 - 12.8 oz - black selvage denim
white/red selvage line - from Kuroki, Japan
1 × 50 cm = 50 cm Gesamtlänge
This black Japanese selvage denim with a weight of 12.7 oz combines classic substance with striking expressiveness. It is ideal for jeans and jackets that have a clear, minimalist aesthetic while also offering high potential for development.
In its new condition, the unwashed denim appears deep black, shape-retaining, and slightly textured. With continued wear, the material develops a noticeable softness and adapts individually. A characteristic feature of this quality is its strong fading potential: through movement, friction, and washing, the black dye gradually wears away, developing nuanced shades of gray with clear contrasts. A vibrant, urban patina emerges, making each garment unique.
The red-and-white woven edge adds a classic accent and refers to traditional production on narrow loom shuttles. The fabric is manufactured by Kuroki in Okayama—one of Japan's most important regions for high-quality selvage denim.
At 12.7 oz, the fabric sits in the comfortably wearable mid-range: sturdy enough for durable constructions, yet still easy to handle during production. A size 90 jeans needle is generally recommended; sewing speed should be adjusted accordingly for multi-layered sections.
The final photo exemplifies how the fabric develops over extended wear—a powerful transition from deep black to nuanced shades of gray that impressively highlights the 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.
