Building a reputation for making simple yet well-made clothing evocative of vintage American styles, Flint and Tinder’s range of rugged clothing never disappoints. Case in point, its Stretch Selvedge Denim jeans are straightforward yet beautiful if you look at the details, all while blending old-fashioned construction methods with modern-day comfort.
The standard around the turn of the 20th century, selvedge (deriving from “self-edge”) is a type of denim made with old-fashioned looms to produce a finished edge along the outseam. Like most things that are nearly obsolete, this loom process has generated an enigma that’s allowed selvedge jeans to garner a sort of following. And today, the style has come to be synonymous with high quality due to the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into making them.
Made following over a year of R&D, the Flint and Tinder Stretch Selvedge Denim is available in classic, straight, slim and athletic tapered fits, and four different shades of blue. The brainchild of in-house denim fanatic Nick Kemp, the vintage-inspired jeans are built with durable selvedge denim cotton, with 1% Spandex inclusion that makes these surprisingly stretchy, to the point that you don’t even need to break them in. Woven on shuttle looms, the pants are designed not to unravel or fray, while boasting an 11.7-ounce weight that is not too heavy for summertime wear but dense enough for colder weather. Meanwhile, the pockets are built from 6-ounce cotton herringbone fabric. You’ll also love the strategic wash and rinse details (which vary depending on which colorway you chose), enhanced even more by vintage-inspired features such as the copper rivets, sturdy contrast stitching, and suede Flint and Tinder patch.
Best of all, these jeans won’t break the bank. Flint and Tinder’s Stretch Selvedge Denim are just $98 from Huckberry’s web store.
