Stretch selvedge is particularly appealing for those new to raw denim, as it can be more forgiving during the break-in process compared to rigid denim.
This said, there is also the fact that many of us love to wear selvedge jeans but the rigidness is definitely an issue.
So here’s the thing: Stretch selvedge denim combines the durability and premium quality of traditional selvedge denim with the comfort and flexibility of stretch fabrics.
This blend has become increasingly popular when looking for jeans that retain their structured, raw denim appearance while offering greater ease of movement. The inclusion of elastane or other stretch fibers provides this added flexibility without compromising the signature crisp look of selvedge.
