For the seasoned denim head a 16.5oz selvedge should be your go to pair when you're not breaking in something heavier and this new drop of the 'uppercut' easily holds its own against any heavier weight in a fight for fade potential. The rope dye yarns have a deep red cast indigo that is refreshingly different from some of the green cast and sulphur top indigos that we have featured recently. The deep indigo will chip off the warp as the jean is worn and washed throughout the break in process. You will look and feel tough as nails in this quality. A classic red selvage iD finishes off this weave. Red Orange top stitching for authentic denim aesthetic Sewn & chain stitched in all the right places on vintage Union Special, Reece & Singer machines.
