Full size guide →15 oz selvedge jeans, the most demanding of our denims
These 15 oz selvedge jeans are cut from a cloth that resists you for the first few weeks before bending to the way you walk. Anyone who likes denim knows that this early resistance is exactly what gives the result its value. 15 oz selvedge jeans are always raw. They patinate slowly, according to your movements and your build, before finally breaking in. On the turned-up hem, the red selvedge signs the cloth.
Cut and sizing
Sizes 28 to 36, limited series. Take your usual size: a 15 oz cloth barely relaxes at the waist. If you are new to raw denim, our 13 oz Berto jeans will be more immediate. The size guide helps you decide.
How to wear 15 oz selvedge jeans
With a wool pea coat and black boots, as in our photos. Raw and without a cuff so the patina forms freely, or rolled over white sneakers to show the selvedge. Under a work jacket, the two cloths wear in together.
Care
- Wash them as rarely as possible: that is what builds the patina.
- Air them between wears.
- When needed: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and alone the first few times, because indigo bleeds.
- Air dry in the shade, never in a tumble dryer.
Stamped pockets, copper rivets
The inner pockets are stamped, a manufacturer's finish you only discover with use. The bottom of the back pockets is lined, because it is the second area to give way on a pair of jeans, the one where the wallet slides every day. The rivets are oxidised copper, and the jeans are assembled with Coats jeans thread.
Patina and durability
In three years, this 15 oz will have proved you right to insist.
It is the most demanding of our denims. A 15 oz Menpu cloth, woven in Japan on a shuttle loom with hand-picked Zimbabwe cotton, which resists for the first few weeks before giving in to the way you walk. Always raw, with a red selvedge on the turn-up. Here is what that resistance will give back to you.
-
deepest indigo, firm cloth: the denim bears no mark yet.
-
it relaxes at the fold points and begins to follow your silhouette.
-
movement creases set in: they are what will draw the patina.
-
cold, inside out and as late as possible, to keep the contrast that is building.
-
edges, pockets and borders lighten, while the blue stays deep elsewhere.
-
the fold zones contrast sharply: marks that look like no one but you.
-
one year: pale blue at the wear points, dense indigo in the protected areas.
-
the denim is supple but keeps its hand; the seams hold the tension.
-
nearly three years of lived indigo; a snag is mended in the workshop rather than replacing the piece.
These jeans aren't for everyone, and that is what gives them their price in the eyes of those who choose them. For the first few weeks, they test you. After that, they never leave you. They are the jeans of enthusiasts who know that a fine patina is earned.
Zimbabwe cotton, Japanese weaving
First, the fibre. Zimbabwe cotton is picked by hand, which limits breakage and keeps the fibres long: the longer the fibre, the stronger and more even the yarn.
Then the weave. The cloth comes from Menpu in Japan, which weaves it on shuttle looms. These machines close the edge of the cloth: that is the selvedge, which does not fray, unlike denim cut from a wide roll.
The crotch, the area that decides how long they last
On a pair of jeans, the crotch is the first place to give: four seams cross there and the thighs rub constantly. Here, a piece of 100% cotton gabardine is added at that exact spot so wear spreads out instead of concentrating on the seams. The jeans are made in Portugal, in a limited series.
We are here to help you
Find here the answers to the most frequently asked questions to help you choose with confidence.
Our clothes are made from exceptional materials (Japanese selvedge denim, French wool from Tournier…) and assembled on vintage machines.
Every piece is designed to last, evolve and develop a patina over time. The fabrics are developed to our own specifications: we design our own weaves, then have them woven by the best mills in the world (Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Morocco), often on old looms. A new cloth can take up to a year to come to life.
This exacting standard is what sets Champ de Manoeuvres apart.
