Die Hard Double Knee Straight Leg w/ Gusset - 13oz Southern Comfort Cone Mills Selvage Denim Jean

Simply put, Cone Mills made some of the world's best stretch selvage. Despite Cone's history and focus on heritage denims, they were surprisingly progressive and developed some outstanding technical selvage denim. This was due to their unique and patented 'S' Gene Technology which they managed to run on their old Draper X looms (no small feat). The stretch filament is wrapped in cotton so there is no shine on the face of the cloth which is characteristic of weaving Lycra in with the cotton. The shade is a 8 dip royal indigo which is what their heritage workwear denim shades generally were.
