NIGEL CABOURN

Nigel Cabourn Authentic Line – mens tan cotton and linen mix work jeans with an ecru selvedge, exaggerated drop crotch and buttoned fly. The five pocket jeans also feature tonal stitching, external braces buttons, a wide straight leg fit and rear buckled cinch back tab.

The Authentic Line is a unique collection consisting of original clothes inspired by Nigel’s archival pieces from the 1940’s and 1950’s. His personal collection of vintage garments is now made up of over 3000 rare pieces. The garments are made in the UK from British fabrics in the same mills that have been manufacturing materials for the British military for the last 65 years.

The selvedge (British English) or selvage (US English) is the white woven edge on both edges of the fabric width, which prevents unravelling or fraying and is a result of how the fabric is created. Traditionally white, the selvedge has been adapted more recently to create unique signature colours for specific, prestigious denim brands. In woven fabric, the selvedge is the edge that runs parallel to the warp (the longitudinal threads that run the entire length of the fabric), and is created by the weft thread looping back at the end of each row.

Traditionally an old 29 inch shuttle loom was used.

The terms selvedge and selvage are a corruption of "self-edge", and have been in use since the 16th century.
