Unraveling the Allure of Greencast Slub Selvedge : A Color Like No Other

 

There's raw denim, and then there's Greencast Slub Selvedge. Fashioned from 15oz Japanese Selvedge Denim, this fabric boasts a distinctive greenish-blue hue combined with a slubby texture, creating an extraordinary color and tone that is sure to catch the eye of both raw denim enthusiasts and novices alike.

One of the most striking features of the Greencast Slub Selvedge denim is its unique coloration. Achieved through a two-step dyeing process known as “top dying,” the yarns are first rope-dyed with indigo and then overdyed with a layer of green. This culminates in a distinct greenish-blue hue that isn't found in traditional denim jeans. The added green layer provides a beautiful depth of color.

When it comes to texture, slub yarns steal the show. These yarns are uneven in thickness, resulting in a fabric that has textural variations. The yarns absorb differing amounts of indigo dye, further contributing to the variance in hues throughout the fabric. Far from being considered flaws, these so-called "imperfections" add character to the jeans, making each pair uniquely textured.

Greencast Slub Selvedge jeans feature indigo and white neps — small knots present in the yarn that manifest as spots in the fabric. In older styles of jeans, these details might have been considered imperfections, but today they're embraced as nostalgic features that add authenticity and old-world charm to the fabric. If you're a fan of vintage detailing, you'll especially appreciate these neps when you flip the cuff and take a closer look.

Beyond the eye-catching color and texture, Greencast Slub Selvedge jeans come with a plethora of design details: Flip up the coin pocket to discover a hidden selvedge ID, a discrete detail that’s for you to enjoy. You’ll also find a classic button fly that enhances the traditional look of the jeans. All of the antique copper-colored hardware is custom-made in the USA by YKK and features the Naked & Famous branding on the buttons and "Je T'adore Toute Nue" on the rivets. A beautiful tobacco leather patch adds warm tones to the overall design.

Last but not least, Greencast Slub Selvedge jeans are cut and sewn in Canada. They have a rigid feel and will require some time to break in until they are fully comfortable. But once they are, they offer the best of both durability and comfort.

For those willing to venture beyond the standard hues and textures, the Greencast Slub Selvedge offers an unparalleled experience of color, texture, and classic design elements. So, if you're in search of a pair of jeans that can offer more than just the basics, the Greencast Slub Selvedge is a stellar choice.
