M16 Indigo Selvedge Denim
£160.00
Super heavy 16oz dark indigo selvedge denim.
Hard wearing and properly made in England.
Super heavy 16oz Indigo selvedge denim.
Our “contour taper” fit, the slimmest we do, with narrower thigh, knee and hem.
Yes – it’s the same cut as the M1 & J5. Not “skinny” but as slim as you can get without using dirty stretch denim.
16oz 100% cotton denim with a red selvedge stripe is woven by Candiani Denim, the most eco denim mill in the world.
These jeans are meant to be worn with a turn up so that the selvedge is visible. They are shipped with a 2 inch turn up. So a 30in leg would be 32in turned down.
Check sizing below if ordering from us the first time. You’ll often need a size larger than many other brands as we don’t do vanity sizing.
Yes! We have teamed up 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.
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 do not 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.

Best pair of jeans I’ve ever put on. Slim but not skinny, really top quality denim. The sizing recommendations are spot on. Oh and nice eco-friendly packaging.

I’ve got two pairs of these, I don’t need any more jeans, these will last me for years.
Excellent quality and manufacturing, they fit really well.
Properly made, quality product, like you got in the old days, before we started with the cheap and cheerful from third-world sweatshops.
They may seem expensive but they will last you at least ten times longer than anything you buy from Primarni.

When you pay good money for something you ‘expect’ quality, but ‘hope’ for service to match it.
Well, these jeans are amazing quality, solid well made, great detail and superb fit. The service from Brant went another level from hope though, worked with me via email comms to get the perfect fit jeans after a couple of attempts by me – Just I wanted a straighter cut than what I originally ordered – he was great, friendly and very helpful. This is hard to demonstrate on a good marketing campaign unlike the clothes, so it needs word of mouth by happy punters like me, to tell you how mega the whole experience was.
But, the jeans are the best I’ve owned

It’s early days yet but here are some first impressions.
The denim is tight weave and smooth to the touch. As it’s 16oz it’s not
super smooth but you wouldn’t call it slubby.
The stitching is excellent in classic high-contrast yellow/orange and is
visible on every hem / seam except the outside leg.
The buttons and rivets are steel and only on the front, the rear pockets are stitched, no hidden rivets here.
The website really should have some close-up pictures of the pockets and the stitching, these are details that denimn-heads are interested in.
As these jeans are 16oz, like a pair of boots, they need wearing in and initially the cloth is little a bit stiff. I presume they’ll relax when washed but I haven’t got that far yet. All in all a good pair of ‘proper’ jeans and if you don’t want to look like a hipster twat then buy the shorter leg length and don’t have them turned up.
But if you do that you can’t show off the selvedge and that’s what it’s about isn’t it? Showing off how you appreciate real denim.

These jeans are very solidly constructed and everything about them feels good quality. A completely different kettle of fish to stretchies that disintegrate within a year. It also matters to me that the purchase isn’t financing any autocracies, but supports a business doing something really decent here in the UK. I will be buying more of their stuff as funds allow!

Such high quality with lovely finishing touches. Genuinely look as good inside as they do out. Have made me realise how poor the jeans I had been buying really were!

My 4th pair of jeans from Hebtroco and already my favourite! The fit is brilliant and the slightly heavier denim makes a noticeable difference. My previous pair of narrow jeans (177’s?) have eventually been washed so have softened into a comfortable everyday jeans, but these are darker and sharper, fitted around the thigh and calf without feeling tight. When I bought my first pair back in 2019 I followed the size guide and it’s been bang on with each subsequent pair. If they start making them in black…
