Selvedge denim is made on narrow shuttle looms, creating a clean, finished edge (the 'self-edge') that prevents fraying. It's often considered a mark of quality and is traditionally associated with heritage denim production.
To maintain the integrity and color of selvedge denim, wash them infrequently in cold water, inside out, with mild detergent. Avoid bleach and high heat drying; line drying is recommended.
