Not your average department store True Religions, or prep school jock's favorite jean, Selvage denim is top of the line. Selvage, or "Selvedge", means that the material is cross-weaved in one continuous thread, old school style, rather than the cross-weaving of individual threads of your regular denim. They're made with the highest quality material. Averaging no less than $80 a pair, selvage denim is well worth the price tag because they're built Ford tough and virtually indestructable.
Japanese Selvage is the most rare and the finest, and can range from $100 up to $800. Handmade with similar quality to vintage Levis, Japanese denim companies produce the best selvage, hence the hefty price tag. It can also be dyed with natural dye and natural washes rather than a synthetic dye and wash.
