Custom Inseam Chain Stitch Hem Service
$12.00
If you need your selvage denim hemmed to a custom inseam then look no further. There is only one way to chain stitch a selvedge denim hem and that's on a folder equipped Union Special 43200g. Why you ask? These machines create a desirable roping effect on the hem which is actually caused by a feed differential defect. What this means is that the fabric is metered through the folder (which feeds the hem to the needle) at a different speed than the feed dogs (on the bottom pulling the fabric) causing a push/pull effect on the hem which is what ultimately causes the roping effect. This roping effect is one of the characteristics that make vintage denim so desirable to collectors and the reason why these machines are so sought after now. The 43200g was first manufactured in 1939 and was phased out in the 80's. Because they were known for this mechanical defect a lot of them were abandoned, stripped for parts and exported to places such as North Africa and South East Asia. To find one in such good working condition as we have is truly rare.
NOTE: Please allow for 7 - 12 WORKING days from the time your order is processed. Hemmed jeans are FINAL SALE.

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.

The Skeleton Skinny 11.75oz Stretch Selvage
$89.00
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.

The Skeleton Skinny 14oz Japan 'Specter' Selvage
$98.00
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.

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.

The Slim Straight 10.75oz Cone Mills Selvage
$72.00
Spring is here and Summer is around the corner, what's not to look forward to? Well, for one, wearing your 16.5oz heavies becomes a far more challenging proposition when the humidity hits 100%. The solution? A 10.75oz lightweight 2x1 "summer" weave. Cone went back to their pre 1930's weave library for this one but upped the ante and used a grey fill yarn instead of a standard natural fill. There are so many reasons to dig on this quality - from the vintage 2 x 1 weave and weight to the dark indigo warp combo'd with the aforementioned grey weft. We don't carry lighter weights very often so If you've been looking for a versatile summer denim then this is it. All over navy topstitch and black hardware and trim through out.

The Slim Straight 13.5oz Brown x Indigo Cone Mills Selvage
$89.00
What makes this selvage so special is that the weft yarn has been over dyed brown with the warp yarn having 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.
Size up if you are between sizes or if you just want slightly more room as the weave is tight on this quality due to the dyed weft yarn.
Unapologetically affordable at $89.

The Slim Straight 13.5oz Indigo Selvage Dual Color iD

We welcome this guy back. Introduced in 2014 it became one of our most popular qualities. Maybe it was the unique double color way orange x natural selvage iD? or perhaps it was the 13.5oz of tightly woven dark indigo warp with barely any grin thru of weft yarn that makes this a year round go to jean for even the most hard core rivet head. Regardless, we advise you to consider adding this to your rotation because as you can see from the pics this quality won't disappoint when it comes to high contrast fades.
DISCLAIMER: The jeans featured in the images are models own and have been worn for a year to achieve the fade contrasts.

The Slim Straight 15oz Cone Mills Selvedge
$89.00
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 looser 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.

The Slim Straight 16.5oz Japan Selvage
$89.00
We've been looking for a cousin to our 16.5oz Cone quality that has pretty much been our signature selvage for the past two years and we think we have found it in this heavy, super dark 16.5oz indigo. So why is it so special? Read on...
Woven at the renowned Kuroki Mill in Japan, this fabric is an absolute fantastic example of the type of quality that is consistently being produced by smaller 'boutique' Mills. The weave is open and loose which gives the fabric a coarse hand and uneven face. There is a roughness and heft to this selvage that is very satisfying to those that demand their denim to fight back during the break in process. The pronounced cross hatch adds to the complex highs and lows in the indigo warp and natural weft yarn.
When it comes to heavyweight fabrics we almost always prefer our shades to be as dark as possible and this selvage does not disappoint. The sulphur top gives this quality an ultra dark, blue black shade that quickly gives way to a rich, intense deep blue indigo after a few washes. As you can see from the sample wash swatches the evolution of this selvage is truly in a class of itself.

The Slim Straight 18.5oz Super Heavyweight Selvage
$118.00
Now Shipping!
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!
Not to be ignored is the very unique triple stripe, red-white-red selvage iD. Overall, this is a superb specimen of high quality weave-manship.
We are super pumped to offer this to you at only $118.00.

The Slim Straight 21.5oz Super Heavyweight Selvage
$118.00
We went deep into our network of sources here in LA to find our newest and heaviest selvage denim to date. At a solid 21.5oz these are not for the casual jeans wearer. Thick, ropey yarns with a solid dark, 16 dip indigo and 3 x 1 LHT weave. One of the great 'sleeper' characteristics of this denim is the long staple cotton that becomes surprisingly supple after just a couple weeks that makes the wearer feel like they are breaking in a selvage a few ounces lighter which takes these out of the 'novelty' category and makes them a regular rotation item. The other characteristic we noticed after a few weeks of wear was how quickly the indigo tends to 'chip' off especially on the seams and high wear and tear areas such as front pockets, button fly and back pockets which is a great payoff early on in the break-in process. These will definitely be our break in project for the rest of the year and if you've been waiting for a heavyweight challenge then we can say you have more than likely met your match.
Denim is SANFORIZED.
Please note that for custom hem orders we will add an additional 1 1/2 - 2 inches for potential shrinkage. So if you order a 32" inseam then the inseam will be hemmed to 34".

The Slim Taper 2.0 11.75oz Cone Mills Stretch Selvage
$79.00
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.

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.

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!

The True Straight 12.5oz Cone Mills Selvage
$75.00
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.
