S-011 - 20.4 oz - heavy weight, dark indigo selvage denim
dark indigo blue selvage denim with white-red selvage edge
1 × 50 cm = 50 cm Gesamtlänge
This dark indigo-dyed selvage denim from Japan has an exceptional weight of 20.4 oz, making it a true heavyweight. It's designed for projects that demand uncompromising substance and maximum durability – ideal for striking jeans or characterful jackets.
Despite its enormous weight, the fabric surprises with a remarkably fluid quality. The weave appears powerful and substantial, yet it doesn't hang stiffly, but rather develops a natural movement. This combination of mass and flow gives the material a special depth.
The surface exhibits a coarser, clearly perceptible texture, yet remains homogeneous and balanced overall. The dark indigo tone underscores this calm, solid character and forms the basis for intense, high-contrast washes. The stronger yarn structure creates pronounced creases and striking light-dark gradients that develop an impressive patina over time.
The fabric is produced at Kuroki in Okayama on traditional shuttle looms, known for their dense, distinctive weave. The result is a denim with an authentic feel, tremendous substance, and a clear material identity.
Due to the considerable weight, a sturdy, high-performance household sewing machine is recommended. A size 100 jeans needle is advisable; for multi-layered flat-felled seams, work at a reduced speed and, if necessary, adjust the seam allowance.
The last photo exemplifies the development of this heavyweight denim over a longer period of wear - a powerful, high-contrast wash that impressively highlights the depth of the dark indigo and the distinctive structure.

Please do not wash the denim before processing. As an unwashed "raw selvage" fabric, it only develops its characteristic structure and fit through wear.
Wash the finished garment only after it is completely sewn. The respective shrinkage values for length and width should therefore be taken into account during pattern construction and size planning.
