Stretch Selvedge is the result of years of research and thoughtful design work by our in-house denim obsessive, Nick Kemp. He started with durable, 11.7 oz selvedge denim woven on old-fashioned shuttle looms and subtly layered in 1% stretch for no-break-in-needed comfort on day one. Then, with his own vintage collection—100 pairs, at least—as his guide, he tinkered with the washes and finer details, sending our factories his favorites to reference until they were just right.
