Brave Star Selvage was founded in 2005 with a view to becoming the first premium, all selvedge denim brand made in the USA. Its True Straight jean in 18 oz. Samurai selvedge denim, made in Downtown Los Angeles, is a testament to this founding principle, with an unbeatable price point to boot.
At 18 oz., the Samurai is a weighty fabric that showcases the magic of the indigo dying process. In this instance, the denim was given longer to oxidize between dips into the indigo bath, giving the dye more time to breathe. This oxidation helps to create a richer, more saturated colour, giving Brave Star’s jeans a wonderfully deep shade of indigo. You also know this means that the fades are going to be off the charts when those natural weft yarns start poking through.
Brave Star has used this outstanding denim on their True Straight jeans, a classic slim-straight, five-pocket jean that’s as American as apple pie. And while you wouldn’t expect to be able to buy a pair of these and one of Brave Star’s heavyweight USA-made cotton t-shirts and still get change from $200 — that’s the case!
Available from Brave Star Selvage for $148.
