Product type
Selvedge denim is a type of woven fabric characterized by its tightly woven edges, which prevent fraying and unraveling. It is typically made from 100% cotton and is produced on traditional shuttle looms, giving it a unique, durable quality. The term 'selvedge' refers to the self-finished edges of the fabric, which are often visible in the final garment, adding to its aesthetic appeal.
