Description
Hard wearing, high quality selvedge denim jeans at a great price. Straight leg cut with all the best HebTroCo features, and made right here in the north of England.
Medium-dark single black shade from Candiani.
These jeans are meant to be worn with a turn up so that the selvedge is visible. This means that there is 2 inch extra length in the inseam and the turn up is pressed. A 32 inch leg length will therefore be 34 inch unrolled. We do 30, 32 and 34 inch leg lengths.
Black skull patch on the rear waistband. Secret pocket, front left – see if you can find it!

What is selvedge?
Originally known as ‘self-edge’ the name refers to the tightly woven edge of the fabric which prevents unravelling. 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. When selvedge jeans are rolled up this clean band is clearly seen. When new it will be quite stiff but will soften with wear and take the shape of your legs. As the rigidity goes the fit will appear slimmer.
Washing
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. Follow our washing directions here. 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.
Is this eco denim?
Working with Italian denim masters, Candiani, the world’s most Eco denim mill, our selvedge denim has the highest environmental credentials.
At all stages of manufacture, environmental sustainability is at the forefront of the selvedge production with BCI cotton, microplastics free dye process, solar power and water recycling just some of the process that are used.
