Our new Boavista jeans are made from raw indigo 11.5oz selvedge denim (100% organic cotton) from Portugal. The five pocket western style is a classic straight fit. We’ve finished the style with smooth antique brass rivets, a branded pull up leather back patch and included the characteristic selvedge stripe on the coin pocket. Typically a yard wide (approx. 91cm), selvedge denim is made on traditional old shuttle looms, which takes time, but produces a tighter woven, harder wearing fabric with a sealed edge, usually with a distinctive red and white stripe. The fabric will mould to your shape and gradually develop individual, unique character over the years. The selvedge runs straight down the outer seam of the leg creating the characteristic shape and a clean ready sealed seam.
