In the vast universe of denim, the weight of the fabric often speaks volumes. It tells tales of its origin, its use, and the era it hails from. Our latest offering, the Craftsman Selvedge, transports us back to a time when lightweight denim was considered heavyweight – and held its ground as the tough and durable choice of workers everywhere.
While 3/1 twill construction is the common go-to for most denim fabrics today, the Craftsman Selvedge looks to the past, coming in at 9oz in a tight 2/1 twill construction. Perfect for those long summer days, its lightweight nature ensures you stay cool and comfortable, even under the blazing sun. It marries strength with comfort, as tight twills like these are less susceptible to snagging and tearing, ensuring it meets the challenges of the modern world just as confidently as its forebears tackled the rigors of the job site.
The Craftsman Selvedge's indigo exterior is complemented by a grandrelle twisted yarn interior weft made of a mix of black and ecru, creating a soft, subdued grey shade to the denim, reminiscent of traditional workwear. Furthermore, despite its lightweight nature, this denim retains a crisp texture, thanks to its hard-twisted yarns, offering a dry hand feel.
The denim is designed to fade over time. Unlike heavier denim, the fade lines of the Craftsman Selvedge won't be as thick and pronounced, but instead, they'll fade soft and gracefully, adding subtle layers of character. An especially captivating feature is the selvedge ID: pristine white on one side, contrasted by two defining stitches on the other.
The Craftsman Selvedge's artistry extends beyond its fabric. Every element, from the ecru contrast stitching evoking yesteryear's workwear spirit, to the misty grey leather patch, the classic button fly, and the silver metallic hardware, all contribute to the rich narrative of durable denims. And every pair is meticulously tailored in our esteemed Canadian factory.
Donning the Craftsman Selvedge is not just about wearing a piece of clothing. It's about embracing a history, celebrating craftsmanship, and upholding a legacy of enduring style. As you wear it, remember that each thread carries tales of bygone eras. Wear it with honor, value its story, and let each fade narrate your journey.
