ojairus - what denim do you have ?

raw denim is basically denim with no wash, no predistressing, usually just indigo dipped. The idea is that they fade and have a ntural looking distress and faded over factory fades which imo usually look really cheap and bad (besides a few, expesive brands)

Selvage is a type of stitching (cant really explain), done on the outseam which prevents the threads from unravelling. I think alot of people care too much about selvage and it gets misleading. Selvage is not always an indicator of good denim. Especially considering it seems like everyone (companies) is coming out with selvage denim. Basically dont look too much into selvage as it will not always mean good jeans, also boot cut jeans will not have selvage as it is not possible to attatch.

What selvage seam looks like

Heres some pics for those who are wondering wha the natural fading looks like. (these arnt mine)

raw denim usually starts off at this color
