The shuttle loom weaves
an order denim suit tailored with a real proof of the time Selvich
What is Selvich denim?
It is a denim that is woven on an old shuttle loom and has an anti-fray called “ears (mimi)” on the edge of the denim fabric.
The one with a red line is commonly known as “red ear” for anti-fraying.
Be prepared to throw away efficiency and take time—————–
Modern high-speed looms weave fabrics with a width of about 150 cm accurately in a short time.
However, Selvich denim is only 80cm width, it takes more than 5 times the normal time slowly slowly, carefully, as if the craftsman breathes.This is the first time that we have been able to do so.
Even if it takes 1 hour, only a few meters can be woven.
Skilled craftsmen stick to the machine, while checking the tension of the thread, the rhythm of weaving, the expression of the fabric.
It is the time and effort that gives the fabric its soul.
why is selvich worthy of a suit?
1. The beauty of aging—————
The uneven tension unique to shuttle looms creates a unique “Atari” each time you wear and wash. It is the perfect denim for “a suit to grow” that changes according to the body type / movement of the person who wears it.
2. Fabric durability—————
Because the fabric width is narrow and the density is high, it is hard to lose shape and has strength to withstand frequent wear.
3. “Red ears” as a real proof—————
When you roll up the hem of the pants, when you fold the cuffs of the jacket, “red ears” visible there, quietly insist on your commitment―.
It is a proof of genuine orientation that can be understood by people who understand it.
4. Rarity and special feeling—————
At present, shuttle looms are rare in the world.However, here in Okayama, the holy land of denim, there is an old loom that still works.

Tailor’s Monologue
The luxury of using “double fabric”
Here, another fact
that one fabric width is half, in order to tailor the suit of the same one, about 2 times the length of the fabric is required.That’s what it is.
In other words, Selvich denim suit, 5 times the time to weave, the fabric to use 2 times ―
usually, such inefficient tailoring will not do.
But, we will tailor dare, and we will propose to those who do not compromise / know denim.
To those who seek the real thing, we deliver the real thing.
This is because we believe that it is our mission as a long-established tailor.
Fabric woven over 5 times
the time, tailoring using 2 times the amount for yourself.
For those who do not compromise, no compromise 1 wear
It is the order Selvich denim suit.
