In the ever-changing denim landscape, some creations emerge as shining stars, leaving a lasting mark. This season, one such favorite returns: the Meteor Selvedge, a popular style from the Fall/Winter 2021 collection. This highly anticipated re-release reintroduces its unique winter grey shade, offering a sophisticated variation for those seeking alternatives to classic indigo jeans.
Made from 11 oz Japanese selvedge denim, Meteor Selvedge stands out with its use of grey, twisted melange yarn. This technique, which weaves together coloured and uncoloured fibres, creates a dynamic melange look that goes far beyond conventional dyeing. Unlike the monochrome yarns typically used in denim, Meteor Selvedge consists of a harmonious blend of white and grey fibres in both the warp and weft. The result is a melange grey denim with a rich texture and personality, making it much more than just a colour – it becomes a style statement.
The 11 oz denim fabric provides year-round comfort. The winter grey color serves as a versatile base that pairs well with a wide range of colors and opens up countless style combinations. Whether paired with a classic shirt and blazer for a sleek look, or with a casual T-shirt and sneakers, Meteor Selvedge fits naturally into any wardrobe as a timeless staple.
The jeans are highlighted with tonal stitching and a brushed, charcoal grey leather patch. The all-white selvedge creates an eye-catching contrast against the grey denim. Silver-tone metal buttons and rivets add a touch of elegance, giving the design a classic denim finish.
The re-release of Meteor Selvedge is more than just bringing back a beloved denim variety; it’s an expression of a deep respect and interest in the vast potential that lies within raw denim. While indigo has traditionally dominated the denim world, it’s exciting to explore more variations as creativity allows. Meteor Selvedge represents everything that’s great about raw denim – from advanced technique to carefully considered details – and proves that denim without the traditional indigo can still excite denim lovers the world over.
