Description

In the pursuit of innovation we have created our latest achievement in denim. The idea for Selvedge Air was born out of the love for old vintage denim and the need for comfort. We wanted to introduce a denim that had the look and feel of a 15oz denim but one felt light and very comfortable when worn. After a very long development process with a highly capable mill in Japan, we were finally able to make this vision a reality.

Instead of using the usual 3 X 1 weave of standard denim, we implemented a 5 x 1 weave. This creates a denim with a higher surface thread count but a lower overall thread count, making it lighter and still durable. The low tension yarns and loose denim weave contribute to the thicker look of the denim while maintaining its light feel. The overall result is a vintage textured denim that looks like heavy weight and feels like a lightweight.

No Good

Material is great but the fit was no good. As a first time buyer of the brand I assumed they could be exchanged for a different fit but informed after the purchase they weren’t eligible for return or exchange. Customer support has been non responsive.

Not for me!

I gave these a try after striking out with the Ace wash. I REALLY loved the fabrication of those and how they felt AND fit, but the whiskering was just too much for me. I thought these would be a good alternate, even though they are 11.5 oz. denim vs 10.5.

While I didn't think the denim weight would be much of a difference, I guess I was wrong because these look AND feel a bit like fine wale corduroy! I was not impressed at all, so they're going back.

Favorite Denim By Far!!

I have many pairs of Kato denim and chinos in my collection. They are all great. But if I had to choose, these may just be my favorite. The fit has always been spot on for me. But the texture of this denim is unmatched. Love it.
