Julian Red Jeans - http://www.julianredjeans.com Three different slim fitting ring-ring selvage models.

Vailent - Carling´s house brand. One japanese ring-ring selvage 501 ´47 repro called "Jussi".

I think these brands are only available in Sweden.

[Teddy Boy Rocker]

a couple lesser known selvage jeans

Ace 1954-S - buckleback redline selvage using Japanese denim based on Levis. German made by "Dress-O-Rama", who makes lots of repro retro clothing. a steal at $90

and locally in socal, the EVIL jeans which are repros of 1937 Levis 501xx bucklebacks sold at Sugar Lee in Long Beach's antique row. not bad for under $100, using redline selvage

teddy boy rocker, do the ace's fit true to size? thanks.

[Teddy Boy Rocker]

yes, the Aces are about true to size, maybe up to an inch larger than tag. and the denim is sanforized so they dont shrink much at all. the Ace 1954s are nearly sold out from what i understand and the company is planning to produce a different (better) line this fall, also using Japanese selvage denim.

[justaname]

teddy, do they have a website where i can order from? or any of their stockists has a website? thanks

Holy Shit!

That would have to be the most comprehensive denim reference list ever. Thanks for that, i for one will be making use of it as it has taken me a lot of travel and research to get only a quarter of that list.

Good work!

[Guest UNKLE21]

thanks for all of the help.

Nudies for 5 months and going

[Guest UNKLE21]

[Boogieman]

They got a list of stockist on their website. I know for shure they're available at SOLO Göteborg, don't know if that's to far away for you tho.

The california model is nice, wearing it right now. It's real slim fitting, medium rise and slightly tapered. Never actually tried the APC unisex so I wouldn't know how they compare in fit.

Price is totally reasonable. 1099 SEK for the unwashed california (~150 USD).

[ringring]

how about TOUGH jeans?

http://www.toughjeans.com/en/layout/subpage.php

Thanks. I've only seen selvage used as decorative detail on Tough jeans so far (belt loops, pockets) and, if memory serves, often not real denim selvage but sewn-on woven ribbons. I've not seen a full selvage outseam from Tough, though it's likely they have probably done them. Do you have any selvage jeans from Tough?

[Stormrider]

Hey guys, I found you talking about the Ace jeans and I wondered if anyone had more information about this label? I have a shop and I would really be interested to stock them. Any idea who I could contact? All I found so far was on Ebay.

[Serge d Nimes]

don't forget to add von dutch to that list!

Others:

Sixty

Sutters

Dickies

Ezra Fitch

Most of these made selvage denim jeans in the late 90's and stopped.

Carpe Denim!

Lists and explains most of the terms commonly used to describe denim in this forum. It has helped me understand some stuff that has been discussed here. I hope you guys might find it useful.

Hello, we are the guys from the company called Dress-O-Rama, we designed the Ace Jeans and we ahve a little request to make. We followed your interesting discussion about selvage denim for a while now and we noticed that our label name was mentioned on different occasions.

We just wanted to tell you guys that we had huge problems with our Ace Jeans production and that there are 1.000 "illegal" ones around.

We split up with our manufacturer last October because his delivery times became worse and worse...

We had a last deal with him about 1.000 pairs of jeans that he was supposed to deliver before christmas. They had our checkered flag embroidery on the back pockets in a straight line because Lee Jeans America told our lawyers we couldn´t use the "lazy S". We never got the jeans, even though we paid for them in full. But before christmas they popped up on Ebay.com together with our gabardine jackets and bowling shirts. We have a huge legal fight with our manufacturer now because he sold loads of Dress-O-Rama stuff behind our back.

If you want to know more, you can check out our website www.dress-o-rama.com .

But anyway, the reason why we post this is to ask for your help if anyone of you knows any shop that sells our Ace Jeans.

At the moment we are preparing a new style Ace Jeans that will be available from September onwards. The 14oz red-line-selvage denim is produced by Kaihara. If you are interested in selvage jeans generally, visit our webshop on our shop´s website www.rock-a-tiki.com . We also sell LVC, Lee Originals and Wrangler Blue Bell there.

We really appreciate any help! Annika & Alex @ Dress-O-Rama
