The Slim Straight 13.5oz Organic Japanese Selvedge
Sold Out
Definitely one of the most unique selvedge qualities we've had the honor of working with. A solid mid weight at 13.5oz thats woven with organic cotton yarn that has a slight tint to the weft. The warp has a red cast saturated indigo. The weave has a very prominent cross hatch which gives this selvedge the complexity and intensity you would expect from a world class mill. Nothing but a traditional red iD would do this quality justice.
Unapologetically affordable at $89.
SLIM STRAIGHT is comparable in fit to LEVI'S® 511™ SLIM FIT or NUDIE® JEANS GRIM TIM.
Details include:
- Red Orange top stitching for authentic denim aesthetic
- Sewn & chain stitched in all the right places on vintage Union Special, Reece & Singer machines.

The Slim Straight 14oz Japan Indigo Selvage
$89.00
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.

Breaking News:
CONE MILLS R.I.P 1905 - 2017
On Oct 18th Cone Mills announced that after 112 years in business they would be officially ceasing all production and operations and permanently close the White Oak plant in North Carolina as of Dec 31st 2017. Cone is the oldest operating denim mill in the world and is the last to weave selvedge denim in the US.
Owning a pair of Cone Mills selvedge denim woven at the White Oak plant will not only be a badge of honor but a necessary addition to any serious or aspiring denim heads collection. Do not miss this opportunity to add this quality to your rotation while supplies last.
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. "Not too slim in the hips!", "Slightly more room in the upper thigh!", "Can you make the leg more tapered?", "Keep the bottom opening narrow but not tight" - all these ingredients were taken into consideration and combined into our newest fit - The Regular Taper. 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. The tighter bottom opening will allow the inseam to sit slightly higher on the foot than our Slim Straights which is clearly a win for those who have a solid shoe/boot/sneaker game.
Details include:
- Red Orange top stitching with Natural leather patch and antique brass hardware.
- Sewn & chain stitched in all the right places on vintage Union Special, Reece & Singer machines.

The Slim Taper 2.0 11.75oz Cone Mills Stretch Selvage
Sold Out
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 you're 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...
This fit runs true to size and is comparable to LEVI's 522 and Nudies Lean Dean fit.
Fit Details:
The top block is slightly narrower in the low hip/seat compared to the Slim Straight . A regular rise with a slimmer upper thigh (compared to the Slim Straight). Tapers to a narrow bottom opening. The narrow opening creates an impressive stacking effect around the ankles as it sits on 'top' of shoe rather than falling over it.
Product Details:

The Skeleton Skinny 12oz Double Black Cone Mills Selvage
Sold Out
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) ring/ring quality in our Skeleton Skinny 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 weave in particular has a pronounced vertical slub that gives the face tons of character (as well as fade potential) and eliminates the 'flat' appearance that a double black often has. Not to mention the insane high/low effect that the whiskering and honeycombs will start to develop as they turn grey against the black contrast 'shadow' areas after a few months of consistent wear and a couple of soaks. This is a black that will deliver in spades and once fully broken in could possibly be the best pair of denim in your quiver.

The Slim Taper 2.0 13.5oz Brown x Indigo Selvage
$89.00
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 Cone's 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.

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.

We welcome this guy back. Introduced in 2014 it became one of our most popular qualities.

This is our second and last go around with this 14oz weight from Kurabo and we're more than pumped to have these on the shelves soon. Why? One of the best mills in the world making some of the best selvage denim available. At a solid 14oz this selvedge feels substantial enough to be mistaken for a heavier weight although once on you immediately feel the suppleness of the long staple cotton which makes this denim a pleasure to wear right from the start. The weave has just the right combo of weft crosshatch for a textured surface aesthetic that will only get more interesting and complex over time. The color shade is a deep, rich natural indigo which we have complimented with an all over navy tonal stitch that does not distract but rather enhances the beautiful character of the cloth. The final detail that finishes off this incredible quality is the black selvage iD that gives this denim the edge it deserves.

The narrow opening creates an impressive stacking effect around the ankles as it sits on 'top' of shoe rather than falling over it.
Fabric Details:
Earlier this year we had the privilege of offering you rivet heads a stunning 14.5oz weight from Kuroki Japan but we only had enough for a very limited run and it sold out in a couple of days. Well this time we've upped the ante and have managed to score a similar quality but in an extra heavy 18.5oz which we obviously couldn't pass up. This fabric embodies all the characteristics we love in our raw selvedge denim. The face is highly textured with an open face weave that is coarse and dry to the touch. The yarn is really the secret weapon here as it is thick and ropey with a super low tension weave which is the key to achieving a selvage of this caliber. We've added a pic of the back of the fabric for you to check out the unevenness caused by the slow cooked, low tension weaving that can only be attained on a shuttle loom.
As for the indigo shade, that doesn't disappoint either. A dark indigo top with a slight green cast base that will become more apparent as the jean is worn and washed throughout the break in process. The sulfur green cast gives off a subtle 'aged' aesthetic right out of the gate and in addition to the indigo shade the denim will acquire a third color dimension as a natural patina is worked into the yarns over the weeks and months of wear and tear. We look forward to seeing the fades you Rivet Heads are able to pull off with this quality!

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR JEANS/SIZING CHART
How to correctly measure your jeans
Waist Measure:
Lay the jeans on a flat surface. Flatten the waistband by pressing out any wrinkles or kinks with your hands. Pull the front waistband up parallel with the back waistband and measure across the top from edge to edge. This edge to edge measurement will give you a half measure which is what we have listed below in our sizing chart. A full measure can be obtained by doubling the flat measurement number for e.g. 16.75 inches x 2 = 33.5 inches.
Low Hip:
This is an important point of measure for low hips and seat. Flatten down the hips so no wrinkle or kinks remain.
Next, measure 6 inches down from the bottom of the waistband at the side seam. Mark with your finger or light colored pencil.
Measure at a slight downward angle just below the J stitch and then across the opposite side going up at the same slight angle. A picture is worth a thousand words so here it is.
Thigh:
Most folks get this wrong, thats ok this is how you get the correct measure. Measure one inch down from the midpoint between the double needle stitch of the front rise. Mark with your finger or light colored pencil.
Measure across at a slightly upward angle following the natural pitch of the thigh panel.
INSEAM:
Measure from the same midpoint of the double needle at the top where the thigh and crotch meet. Walk the tape measure down the contour of the inseam along the stitch to the edge of the hem.
BRAVE STAR SIZING CHART:
Please allow for a +/- 1/4" tolerance (flat measure) in the waistband vs listed spec.
All measurements are flat measurements. For full measure double the number listed, for eg size 32 waist = 17.25 inches flat x 2 = 34.5 all the way around.
