Selvedge denim is woven on vintage looms that has clean edge on the out-seam of the jeans, also known as the self-edge. Selvedge denim won’t fray as easily as lower-grade denim because the edge is closed. Often selvage jeans will have two red stripes on the out-seam, but it can be almost any color.

Why you want it- Selvedge denim is the big word in premium jeans. You should look for selvedge denim in every pair of jeans that you buy because it means that they will last a lot longer and won’t unravel.
