We stock several variations of the Selvedge in a range of cuts from regular to tapered to slim. For the uninitiated Selvage is made using a loom that dispenses with modernized techniques to produce a classic artisan finish. Selvedge is often characterized by a denser weave that is tighter than their non-selvedge cousins.
