Iron Heart makes jeans with 25 oz Japanese selvage denim — significantly heavier than the typical 12 oz denim used in most jeans. “Selvage” means the denim was made on an old-style shuttle loom (unlike mass-produced denim). If durability is a deciding factor for you, and you don’t mind breaking in your jeans for a few months, Iron Heart jeans might be a good choice. Others may find this thickness of denim too hot in the summer.
Other brands that use selvedge denim: Levis, Nudie Jeans (which specializes in green manufacturing), Naked and Famous, Dolce and Gabanna and Samurai Jeans.
