S-011 - 20.4 oz - heavyweight, dark indigo selvage denim
white/red selvage line - from Kuroki, Japan
1 × 50 cm = 50 cm Gesamtlänge
This dark indigo-dyed selvage denim from Japan has an exceptional weight of 20.4 oz, placing it among the true heavyweight fabrics. It is intended for projects that demand uncompromising substance and maximum durability—ideal for striking jeans or characterful jackets.
Despite its enormous weight, the fabric surprises with its remarkably fluid drape. The weave feels powerful and substantial, yet it does not hang stiffly, instead developing a natural fluidity. This combination of mass and flow gives the material a distinctive depth.
The surface features a coarser, clearly perceptible texture, yet remains homogeneous and balanced overall. The dark indigo shade emphasizes this calm, substantial character and provides the foundation for intense, high-contrast fading. The pronounced yarn structure creates distinct creasing and striking light-and-dark transitions that develop into an impressive patina over time.
The fabric is woven by Kuroki in Okayama on traditional shuttle looms known for their dense, characterful weave. The result is a denim with an authentic feel, enormous substance, and a clear material identity.
Due to its substantial weight, a sturdy, high-performance domestic sewing machine is recommended. A size 100 jeans needle is advisable; when sewing multi-layered flat-felled seams, work at a reduced speed and adjust the needle height if necessary.
The final photo illustrates how this heavyweight denim develops over extended wear—powerful, high-contrast fading that impressively highlights the depth of the dark indigo and the distinctive texture.

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.
