Made from a lightweight 11oz selvedge denim
What is selvedge?
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.
The V12 denim is raw. This means it hasn’t been washed and it 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.
How is it eco denim?
Candiani are Italian denim masters. They are also the world’s most eco denim mill. The Chore Jacket is made from Candiani selvedge denim and has 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.
Candiani, our denim supplier use ‘Easy Fade’ dyeing technology with this denim to get good looking jeans, with clean fade lines when you wash then. This is all achieved quicker than usual using less water and chemicals!
The dyeing process also uses patented techniques including using mushrooms and seaweed instead of chemicals, making these jeans microplastics free.
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.
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.
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.
Similar waist fit to our 177 cut, but with a slimmer thigh, knee and lower leg.
