Selvedge Jean
Unwashed 13.5 oz organic selvedge denim woven on shuttle looms. Built stiff to break in specifically to your body.
Made by Diego R, Guadalajara
Fast-fashion denim consumes thousands of gallons of clean water just to distress jeans artificially before you even buy them. Our Selvedge Jeans skip the factory chemicals and stone washing entirely. Woven from certified organic cotton with a visible red-line selvedge ID along the outseam, these pants are meant to be broken in through real wear. Features custom tack buttons, copper rivets, and heavy twill pocket bags that do not blow out.
All orders ship ground within 3 to 5 business days using 100% post-consumer recycled kraft mailers. No plastic polybags, no unnecessary inserts.
We offer free domestic exchanges and returns within 30 days of delivery on all unworn items.
When you are done wearing this piece, do not toss it. Ship it back to our distribution hub at any point in its lifespan and receive 50% of the original purchase value back in store credit toward your next staple. Every returned garment is repaired, resold, or re-spun into raw fibers to keep textiles out of landfills.
