“GVNR 16 are hardwearing and high quality UK made jeans at price that competes with the big brands who make offshore with poorer quality materials.”

"I finally bit the bullet and recently got me a pair of 16oz GuVNoRs. Hands down the most tippy top pair of jeans I’ve ever owned in my half century on this planet and worth the money. Such quality and quite likely to outlast me I reckon!"

What is Selvedge denim?

Selvedge is old-style denim, woven on narrow looms and typically has a more characterful appearance and a higher level of quality than mass-produced denim.

You can see the selvedge (self edged) stripe at the turn up. It’s where during weaving the outside edge of the cloth has been woven together to stop it having a raw edge.

How is it eco denim?

Candiani are Italian denim masters. They are also the world’s most eco denim mill. The GVNR 16 are made from Candiani selvedge denim and have the highest environmental credentials.

Environmental sustainability is at the forefront of all stages of production of selvedge denim. Using BCI cotton, a micro-plastics free dye process, solar power and water recycling to name some of the process used.

Washing and getting those good fades.

You’ve bought a lovely pair of raw denim jeans. As they get older and start to fade you want to create your own fade lines rather than have the washing machine do it. If you want the best looking jeans wash at 3 to 6 month intervals. Washing more frequently is fine, you’ll just get more overall fading rather than a contrast between dark indigo and light fade.

Don’t just stick them in the washing machine with everything. For best results drip dry, don’t spin, and definitely don’t tumble dry.

Will my jeans shrink?

The denim we use is raw. This means that it hasn’t been washed and hasn’t been through chemical colour-fast treatments. It has been sanforized though, which means that shrinkage on first wash will be minimal – less than 2% in length and 1% in width.

This means that leg length will shorten by half to three quarters of an inch. Waist shrinkage is negligible. Jeans may tighten a little in the waist, but will loosen after wear. They will only lose half an inch in length and you’ve got 2″ in the turn up.

To turn up or not to turn up?

The GVNR comes with a turn up so that the selvedge is visible. This means that there is 2 inch extra length in the inseam. 

Depending on the length you order you can adjust leg length, by rolling up or down, to get it just as you like it, or even do away with the turn up altogether.

The turn up is pressed but not sewn in place.

Sizing Guide

16oz jeans will be a bit stiff at first but with a few day’s wear the denim will soften and take your shape to fit just right. There’s isn’t a wearing in period of months like you get with, for example, 21oz denim.

    Had a few pairs of jeans from these guys, not sure I feel the need to look elsewhere.

    After years of trying to find the perfect pair of jeans in the GVNR I’ve found them. The best looking, most comfortable, highest quality and ethically sound jeans I’ve had. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Grab yourself a pair or two.

    I finally bit the bullet and recently got me a pair of 16oz GuVNoRs. Hands down the most tippy top pair of jeans I’ve ever owned in my half century on this planet and worth the money. Such quality and quite likely to outlast me I reckon!

    What better jeans to have on when striding forth into the coming apocalypse? Probably bulletproof, probably find out soon

  7. James (verified owner)

    Just when I thought I couldn’t get a better pair of jeans than my 177’s, along come the G16’s!

    If you’re a raw denim lover, you won’t be disappointed.

    One very happy customer 🙂

    Outstanding, possibly bomb-proof, definitely capable of standing up on their own.
    Along with my Iron shirt, I will be the ultimate Double-Denim-Dad!
