Japanese stretch selvedge denim 375 GSM – red beaded selvedge/black

Expertly woven in Japan, this is an amazing Japanese selvedge deadstock denim with a tight weave and a firm, cottony drape. This is a mid-weight denim, measuring 375 GSM but the small elastic content provides some softness and a little give in the width. The color is a soft black with no slub, and it looks the same on both sides. This coveted style of Japanese denim features a pretty beaded stitch on the selvedge with soft white and red yarns. Align your pattern pieces with the selvedge to sew designer quality jeans, jackets, overshirts, a tailored dress or skirt, shorts, tote bags or a lovely apron that will last a lifetime. Note the narrower width, which is standard for selvedge denim. Prewash separately and hang to dry (please test first). Launder your completed garment inside out to retain the dark color.
