#605 The Suvin Silk Selvedge

Today is about true, top tier quality. We could wish for no other fabric than Japanese selvedge denim to get this special treatment. It starts at the most fundamental level - the building block fibers of the denim itself. Rare, special, luxurious. The first is Suvin cotton, an extra-long staple variety that is the result of crossing two world famous varieties - Sea Island and Sujata. It's cultivated in extremely limited quantities and considered one of the world's finest. In practical terms, it's one of the most supple and durable cottons in the world. The next building block is silk - an ultra luxury fiber prized for both durability and flowing drape. It's hard to ask for more quality. We just love that the result is top tier workwear fabric. Indigo dyed warp, classic white weft, intensely neppy yarns for an explosion of organic surface texture. The feel of this denim strikes the perfect balance between rugged workwear and the smooth, flowing character that the special cotton and silk provide. This is the good stuff.
