Selvage for £12.99 (one tiny catch)

[Paul T]

Yesterday I fancied some cheap selvage for work around the house... to find that Uniqlo in London have only stopped doing selvage since the last time I went in.

But I DID find some great, distressed selvage jeans from H&M. Good finish, not unlike the new 1937 Levi's repros. They were £12.99! Little selvage stripe on the watchpocket, and patterned (paisley) pocket linings like the 1940s 501. Amazing how they can do something as good as this, for that ridiculous price.

Only small catch is they are for kids. Fortunately I have one, exactly for reasons such as this. But this has got to be the best example ever of how mainstream selvage has become...

wanna take a picture?

i'd love to see what kind of effort H&M put into distressing for kids.

sounds like good stuff nevertheless.
