What is selvedge denim?
Selvedge denim is denim with a self-edge. That might sound technical, but simply put, it means the fabric is woven in a traditional way, resulting in a neatly finished edge that doesn't fray.
You can often recognize selvedge by the beautiful edge on the inside of the pant leg. That’s why you’ll often see people cuffing their jeans. Not because they have to, but because they can. That edge is part of the charm.
What makes selvedge so special is that it often feels sturdier, more characterful, and more authentic than regular denim. It’s denim that lives. At first, the pants may feel quite stiff, but as you wear them, they mold to your body. And that is exactly why denim enthusiasts love them so much.
Fit & styling
The ARMEDANGELS MAADOX SELVEDGE has a regular fit with a straight leg. No skinny nonsense, but not an extremely wide cut either. Just a classic, straight jean that falls nicely along the leg.
The waist is mid-rise and the jeans have a regular length. Pierre wears a size 32/32, is 184 cm tall, and has a hip measurement of 93 cm. The inseam for length 32 is approximately 80 cm.
Wear these jeans with a flannel shirt for a casual autumn look, a fine-knit polo for something a bit dressier, or with a sweater and sneakers for every day. Thanks to the dark blue midnight color, you can style them in countless ways.
100% organic cotton, no stretch
These jeans are made of 100% organic cotton. There is no elastane or stretch involved. This means the jeans may feel firmer initially than you might be used to, especially if you normally wear stretch denim.
But that is exactly what makes these jeans so beautiful. Non-stretch denim tends to hold its shape better and develops its own character over time. The fabric comes to life, the color develops, and the pants become more and more your own.
Washing instructions for selvedge jeans
Try not to wash these jeans too often. Denim, especially selvedge denim, stays looking better if you mainly air it out. Hang the pants outside or in the bathroom while you shower after wearing them. Often, that is enough.
Must they be washed? Wash them inside out at a low temperature, with a small amount of detergent and no fabric softener. Do not tumble dry, as that generally doesn't do denim any favors. Let the jeans air dry and gently pull them into shape after washing.
Please note: dark denim may bleed slightly at first. Be careful with light-colored sofas, shoes, or tops.

Sustainable & fair
ARMEDANGELS is known for modern basics and classics with a more sustainable approach. This MAADOX SELVEDGE is made of 100% organic cotton: a natural fiber that requires no synthetic stretch.
We believe this is particularly important for a pair of jeans. A good pair of jeans should not only look great on the day you buy them, but also still hold up after being worn a hundred times. These trousers are made to be worn often, to slowly become more beautiful, and not to be finished after just one season.
Do not buy if...
Are you looking for a very soft, elastic stretch jean that moves like sweatpants the moment you put it on? Then these are probably not the pants for you.
But if you are looking for a sturdy, classic men's jean made of 100% organic cotton, with a straight leg and authentic selvedge details? Then the MAADOX SELVEDGE is truly a wonderful choice.
