Dry Black Denim

[Spike]

Do any companies produce raw, black, selvage jeans? I know that Nudie do their Overdyed Black, Loomstate do some jeans that look like raw black but aren't, and Lee's and Levi's do black jeans, but none that can be broken in and get the same wearmarks as indigo jeans - as far as I know

Any suggestions?

There are some Nudie Dry Black, don't know if that's the same as the 'overdyed black' you mentioned.

It is available on 'Slim Jim' only, however it is not selvage I fear.

The Slim Jim Dry Black are not overdyed, they're raw. That's the only one that I know of, although Nudie may have other styles in dry black now.

", but none that can be broken in and get the same wearmarks as indigo jeans "

black jeans aren't going to give you the same high contrasts as indigo since the dye usually has penetrated the whole yarn... youll still get some fading after a ton of wear but not to the extreme that indigo dyed jeans will give you. the indigo dye is pretty much a thin coating at the top of the fiber and will chip off over time revealing the white underneath... with black denim in my experience you just get more of a real faint grey that isnt well defined....

reydogg23 > The Evisu Black jeans are No#3 Denim, which means for the common foe that its 11oz non-selvage denim. All you need ---

Thank you ringring =)

Exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Now to track down some Denimes outside of Japan, or figuring out how to get them out of there

[ringring]

You're welcome.

You may have a hard time finding Denimes outside of Japan. (Try Aero in the UK or Take5 in Hong Kong).

Otherwise some people on here use Celga (do a search) to purchase things direct from Japan.

BTW here's the link to Denime's product page: http://www.e-denime.com/proucts/jeans.html
