A brand new Cone Mills 14oz that is a one off, exclusive item that is not available in their regular stock collection. This 14oz has a visible hairiness on the face thats achieved by skipping the final finishing process known as singeing or gassing of the fabric where the denim is passed over a controlled gas flame. We highly approve of the rougher aesthetic that this unfinished selvage lends to the Ironside.
The Ironside Trucker:
The Ironside is the second addition to our jacket selection. The fit is our most universal denim jacket fit for guys as opposed to our Steadfast jacket that is a slim fit. The silhouette is straight on the body with armholes and sleeves designed for maximum mobility and comfort, featuring a total of six exterior/interior pockets incl. side welted, hand warmer pockets that offer style and functionality. Wear it over a white tee shirt or under a vintage leather jacket, its hard to go wrong with this iconic garment.

The result is a modern classic - functional & timeless. Wear it over a white tee shirt or under a vintage leather jacket or peacoat, its hard to go wrong with this iconic garment.

We've been listening to some solid feedback from you denim heads over the last twelve months about the ultimate taper jean and what it should fit like.

This fit will satisfy those wanting the comfort of a regular fitting top block with room in the waist, low hip and thigh combo'd with a slightly more radical taper from the knee down to the ankle.

It's not easy to source high quality, black x black selvage and truth be told, the denim mills hate making it. Why? It's more expensive to produce than indigo selvage and the black dye contaminates the looms. So we are pumped to offer a limited quantity of 12oz double black (black warp, black weft) 3 x 1 quality in our Slim Straight style. Breaking in a pair of double black definitely has its own set of challenges and no self respecting denim head should ever shy away from the task as the reward is more than satisfying. This is a black that will deliver in spades and once fully broken in could possibly be one of the best pairs of denim in your quiver.

When we decided to introduce a stretch selvage we knew it had to be the best. We wanted a stretch that was only 'felt' but not 'seen' in other words a stretch that did not compromise the aesthetic of the selvage denim 'face' or surface. Where did we turn? Cone Mills of course! Cone Denim's SGENE® technology has created a new global standard for stretch selvage denim. The stretch filament is inserted first and is then wrapped in a cotton covering and spun to provide a soft cotton hand and natural appearance. The core spun stretch yarn doubles the performance of the fabric by adding more than one core. In fact, Cone spins their dual-core yarn in-house to maintain exceptionally high quality standards. The patented technology is hidden within the proprietary yarn, giving it twice the power. "Bagging knee" syndrome is virtually eliminated. The premium yarns and construction creates a fabric that remembers its shape.
Not only is this selvage packed with next level construction but is a 3x1 RHT with ARS x CRS. Shade is a super saturated true indigo with a beautiful vertical, tight slub warp yarn.
Simply put this is the world's best stretch selvage bar none. Whether your a bike commuter, skater, musician or simply want a selvage that can move with your body no matter the occasion or vocation then look no further, you've found it. Now get it...
NOTE: When it comes to the Skeleton Skinny we encourage folks to upsize on this one. This is a very skinny silhouette and upsizing is more like a half size rather than a full size. The stretch will also shrink more after the first wash than 100% cotton so any extra fabric and/or bagginess will be eliminated with the first soak.

Our newest Japanese selvedge is the kind of denim that you would expect from a world class boutique mill - it has a bold warp character with big, uneven yarns, coarse weave and a neppy surface texture. At a solid 14oz this selvedge feels substantial enough to be mistaken for a heavier weight. The shade is a dark indigo with a sulfur top which will fade to a deep indigo once its had it first wash. We have sewn it up with our signature red orange stitch that gives the jean an authentic denim aesthetic. The final detail that finishes off this incredible quality is the natural selvage iD.

This is an iconic fabric in the making. We've been running it for the past three years and we keep getting requests for restock - we heard you loud and clear. This is another opportunity for you to own one of the heaviest denims ever produced by Cone Mills. The weave has minimal 'grin through' of weft yarn which showcases the saturated green cast indigo against a tight warp yarn weave. This beast will give you the fade characteristics you've only seen pictures of.

A selvage jean is incomplete without the right belt and having the right color is as equally important. For those of you that want to skip the natural aging process needed for the vegetable tan raw leather, this Bourbon color fast forwards the end result and is the perfect match for a Brave Star raw selvage jean or jacket that features our signature red orange stitch color.
As far as construction goes, we kept it stitchless since stitching is the main point of weakness on any belt. We have updated our construction with two flat head rivets to secure the buckle instead of the chicago screws as the feedback from our community was that these were scratching the leather during shipping. The buckle can no longer be switched out due to the new permanent rivets. The strap is edged by hand and is finished with a traditional English point.
Materials:
9/10 mm Ultra Thick Full grain leather.
American Raised Steer.
Leather Hides tanned in Texas.
Antique Brass roller buckle.
Two flat head rivets.
5/8" Single leather keeper.
American Made in Los Angeles of course.
How to measure for your size:
All Brave Star belt straps are made with 5 holes, spaced 1" apart. The centre hole is the anchor size with the bookend sizes spaced one inch apart. We have taken the guesswork out of figuring out which size you would need and recommend that you buy your jean size in our belts. Example; a size 32 jean size would order a 32" belt.

A selvage jean is incomplete without the right belt. For us here at Brave Star that would be a classic raw vegetable tanned leather belt. Why raw leather? Besides raw selvage, leather is the only other material that that has the ability to age beautifully and acquire a patina that is not duplicatable with dye. This belt will begin to show wear right out of the gate and after approximately 3 months a patina will begin to develop that will be unique to you and your wear.

Originally, the mesh trucker hat was given away as a promotional item by companies in rural America to workers. From the local animal feed store to tractor companies the mesh hats were seen as an ideal way of promoting their services throughout the rural communities which they served. Practical, functional and inexpensive it quickly became known as 'The Common Man's Crown' and was soon synonymous with the blue collar workers often seen wearing them at work as it offered protection from the sun and readily absorbed sweat. Over the last 40 years the mesh trucker has firmly entrenched itself in Americana culture and mens closets the world over.
If there ever was the perfect accessory to a pair of Brave Star Selvage jeans and t-shirt, it'd be the snapback trucker.

We have a special affinity for 15 oz since it's one of those qualities that feel substantial without being 'novelty' heavy. This 15 oz in particular has a loose slubby weave with a prominent 'cross hatch' aesthetic on the face. This fabric has a softer hand due to the long staple cotton and is probably one of the most comfortable raw denims we've had the pleasure of breaking in over the last few years. The indigo color is quite intense with a dark, saturated warp yarn and an all natural white weft. Construction is a 3x1 RHT ARS x ARS with a black & green cast that gives off multiple shade contrasts during the fade progression.

What makes this selvage so special is that the weft yarn has been overdyed brown while the warp yarn has been dyed in a saturated indigo. This is a technique that is more commonly seen in Japanese selvage and we are loving Cones interpretation of this process. Colored weft is not something that they do often but when they do it certainly is something to consider. The combo of the two yarns produces a color texture that looks as if the selvage has been aging for months and has started to oxidize, which is a natural occurrence in indigo after prolonged exposure to ozone.

A lot of attention is often given to the heavier weight qualities but that doesn't mean the lighter weights should be overlooked. Any serious denim head should have a couple of lighter weight options in their rotation quiver. As with our previous light weight qualities we source from the notorious Cone Mills. We can confidently say that Cone has mastered selvedge in these type of weights and often go deep into their 120 year library for inspiration. The indigo shade on this quality is a crisp blue indigo with a slight purple cast. The weave is a 3 x 1 RHT. This a weight that you can rarely go wrong with. We consider this a year round denim for those that don't live in extreme weather conditions. This selvedge is great for first timers wanting a weight that is all about wearability as well as seasoned denim heads looking for options that represent authentic American selvedge.

When sourcing our T shirt program there were certain aspects of the product that we were not willing to compromise on - the fit, the quality of the cotton and where they are manufactured.
FIT
Slim but not tight, the torso is contoured through the mid section for shape. The bottom half of the block has been updated to fall slightly longer for a more modern fit.Sleeves are fit to eliminate "wings" which are created due to excessive fabric and a boxy fit. To preserve the impeccable fit, all of our T's are garment dyed after they've been sewn. Garment dyeing means the T-shirt has been commercially washed and dried to eliminate post purchase shrinkage and results in a softer feel and richer color. Most T's are constructed using piece dyed goods, meaning the fabric is already dyed before being cut into T-shirts and therefore has not been pre shrunk. Once you've done your first home wash the T-shirt will often shrink up to a full size. Our process of garment dying allows for your T-shirt to fit right for as long as you own it, since there’s virtually no shrinkage.
CONSTRUCTION
Inset collar using knitted 1x1 ribbing that lies flat against your neck and chest. Neck and shoulder seams are taped to secure and structure seams. Narrow gauge double needle stitching at the sleeves and bottom hem for a premium construction aesthetic.
COTTON
Our T's are crafted using the finest 100% ring-spun, combed domestic organic cotton. Not only is the cotton organic but of premium quality using 5.5oz/30's yarn for our standard tees and 7oz/20's yarn for our heavyweight t-shirts.
AMERICAN MADE
All production is done in Los Angeles at a state of the art manufacturing facility that pays more than a fair wage and employs over 30 full time workers keeping jobs here and money flowing through our local economy.
Considering all of these attributes you would expect our T-shirts to cost double or even triple the price but fortunately, due to our 'Retail Free' e-commerce sales model we are able to source the highest quality cotton T shirts, keep them American Made and offer them at import prices.

Summer, what's not to like? Well, for one, wearing your 16.5oz heavies becomes a far more challenging proposition when the humidity hits 100%. The solution?

The look of this classic American selvage mirrors the optimism of Summer in feel, look and attitude. A much shorter break in period is needed to make these your go to raws for any summer occasion.
