The Classic Style of Denim

Gents,

One current trend that captured our attention is the selvedge denim industry. Denim is one of the most interesting fabrics used to make clothing because in its final form the product feels stiff and rugged. Denim is made of cotton twill weaved together for maximum strength and durability. The image that best captures the toughness of the fabric is the Levis denim tag that depicts a pair of jeans tied between two horses that are pulling in different directions. Surprisingly the jeans are not pulled apart and are able to withstand the extreme use and abuse.

We enlisted the help of Self Edge and put together a few threads for men available online or at one of their 4 locations; San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, and Portland.

Not only is denim defined by rugged durability but also for its sophistication. Denim can be worn by a car mechanic in a rough and tough environment of dirt and oil but also fashionable enough for a lawyer with a sports coat and wingtips! Honestly, I cannot think of a more classic and versatile fabric.
