Description

Classic Italian red selvedge denim woven on a traditional narrow loom, now measuring 88cm wide. This ocean indigo shade is lighter and brighter than deep indigo, with a beautiful contrast between the blue warp and natural weft for an authentic denim appearance.

At 10.7oz (approximately 363gsm), this is a proper heavyweight jeans denim, woven from 100% cotton with a firm, structured handle that will gradually soften with wear. The distinctive red selvedge edge is perfect for turned-up cuffs and visible detailing, giving handmade jeans that traditional shuttle-loom character. Ideal for jeans, denim jackets, structured skirts and hard-wearing everyday pieces.

Care & washing

Allow 2-10% shrinkage to be on the safe side. Wash the fabric before making up, in the same way you'll wash the finished make, drying methods included, so it settles once rather than after it's sewn.

Test a sample area first to find the most suitable way to wash it. We can't accept liability for fabrics washed or treated incorrectly.
