The selvage shows the sturdy, slightly rough finish on the back, while the front side has an even, matte appearance without any shine. A fabric with authentic denim character, built to last for years.

What Does 8-OZ Mean?

The 8-oz designation refers to the weight of the denim, expressed in ounces per square yard, a standard American measurement used throughout the denim industry. The higher this number, the heavier and stiffer the fabric feels. At 8 oz, this jeans fabric sits in the mid-range, not as light as a summer chambray but also not as heavy and rigid as workwear denim of 14 oz or more. This makes the fabric pleasant to work with on a sewing machine and still sturdy enough for garments that need to take a beating. You notice it right away in how the fabric drapes, with a structured, somewhat stiff hang that holds its shape without looking board-like.
