Selvage

Selvage is a special woven edge of denim fabric, often seen as a symbol of retro and high quality.
Definition and Origin: Selvage, also known as red ear or red edge, refers to the red (or other colored) edging on denim fabrics produced using old-fashioned narrow width shuttle looms. This kind of edge weaving not only prevents the fabric from cracking, but also becomes a unique symbol of denim fabrics.
Characteristics and craftsmanship: During the weaving process of red ear denim fabric, warp and weft yarns intersect to form a border, and the color is determined by the border yarns, mostly red, but there are also other colors. With the rise of the retro trend, red ear jeans have become the darling of the fashion industry. Despite their high production costs, they are highly sought after for their unique style and sense of quality.
Application and Identification: Red ear denim fabric can be made into raw or washed cattle, but not all raw cattle use red ear denim fabric. When identifying, observe whether there are red (or other colored) woven edges on the edges of the jeans.
Overall, Selvage is not only a craftsmanship feature of denim fabrics, but also a symbol of retro and fashion culture.
