Selvedge (or selvage) comes from the phrase “self-edge” which refers to the edge being finished by the loom instead of sewn together after weaving. Selvedge is the term commonly used to refer to denim that has been produced on a shuttle loom. Since the amount of fabric produced from a shuttle loom is significantly narrower than a projectile (wide) loom, the cotton consumption is higher and the manufacturing time required is greater. Our selvedge denim has a red thread running vertically down the cloth. Go and have a look: Selvedge denim.
