Selvage Denim

The selvage ID, showcased through the contrast thread on the stripe, represents the unique identity and manufacturing process of each mill. This proud tradition has been passed down through generations and remains an integral part of our denim production today. In the past, all denim used to be selvage, but as the demand for jeans and denim surged in the 1950s, manufacturers sought faster and more efficient methods. Transitioning from shuttle looms to projectile looms allowed them to meet the increasing demand. However, in the late '70s and early '80s, Japan developed a deep passion for denim. Japanese brands began acquiring and utilizing old shuttle looms, rekindling the art of producing exquisite selvage denim. Denim enthusiasts worldwide turned to Japan in their quest for the finest selvage denim. Discover the unparalleled quality and timeless appeal of AG Jeans Selvage denim.
