The word ‘selvedge’ relates to the ‘self-edge’ of fabric. Selvedge is woven so the fabric’s ‘edge’ can be used in garment construction. In regards to jean construction, using the outer edge of the denim (the self-edge), makes a jean a ‘selvedge’ denim jean. See a finished selvedge jean. Origins of Selvedge Denim Selvedge denim is woven using old-fashioned denim-weaving techniques; most authentically woven on old looms. See finished selvedge jeans. Selvedge looms were popular in denim weaving until the mid-to-late 1900’s. US denim mills began modernizing their machinery to speed production as demand for denim grew world-wide.

1.  Nylon is the name given to a family of synthetic polymers that can be processed, via melting, into fibers, films and shapes. They’re used commercially in everything from clothing to lightweight luggage to molded car parts to food wrappings. It was developed by DuPont chemical company scientists via a long, painstaking process of experimentation with how molecules were linked together. The first product DuPont made from nylon was bristles for toothbrushes. The fabric form of nylon was rolled out for the 1939 New York World’s Fair and was first used for women’s stockings, which had hitherto been made from silk, the following year. 2.  Among the names considered for this new miracle fabric was “klis,” which, of course, is “silk” spelled backward. Among the 400 other options were “Nuron,” which is “no-run” in reverse, and “Duparooh,” an acronym for — no kidding — “DuPont Pulls A Rabbit Out Of a...
