S-001 - 14.1 oz - natural indigo selvage denim
white selvage line - from Kuroki, Japan
1 × 50 cm = 50 cm Gesamtlänge
This natural indigo-dyed selvage denim from Japan weighs 14.1 oz and is ideal for durable jeans, jackets, or sturdy accessories. In this weight range, the fabric combines stability with still manageable workability - a balanced foundation for projects that demand substance and character.
The denim is unwashed and presents itself as firm and grippy in its new condition. This initial stiffness is typical for high-quality "raw denim" and part of its appeal: With increased wear, the material develops a noticeable suppleness and shapes itself individually through longer wear. A lively fabric is created with a personal patina and characterful fades.
The uniform, yet slightly textured appearance of the fabric testifies to traditional Japanese weaving art. The fabric is made at Kuroki in Okayama - one of the most renowned regions for denim in Japan. There, fabrics with an authentic feel and pronounced depth in the indigo are produced on narrow looms.
Despite its robustness, the denim can be processed with a well-adjusted, household sewing machine. A fresh jeans needle (90-100) is recommended, as well as a slightly reduced sewing speed for thick flat-felled seams and, if necessary, a height adjustment when topstitching multi-layered sections.
The last photo shows the natural development of the fabric after around three years of continuous wear and washing - an example of the depth and liveliness that this natural indigo-dyed denim unfolds over time.

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.
