The art of denim begins at the loom. 🧵 Once dyed, the yarn is lightly starched to help prevent breakage during weaving. From there, it is woven on carefully maintained vintage shuttle looms, machines that work slowly but create something truly special. The distinctive texture, subtle irregularities, and rich character found in the world’s most sought-after selvedge denim come from this traditional process. Alongside these heritage looms, modern weaving technology is used for specialized applications, from heavyweight denim fabrics to smoother, more refined constructions. Together, old and new create a balance between authenticity and innovation. Our philosophy is simple: respect the past, improve the future. #details #selvedge #selvedgedenim #japaneseselvedge
