Selvedge Denim; Its Japanese Denim and pretty much the best quality you can buy. It will last you a very long time. Here's the technical breakdown: definition of selvedge denim courtesy of StyleForum.net - "Selvage is the term commonly used to refer to denim that has been produced on a shuttle loom. Since the amount of fabric produced from a shuttle loom is significantly narrower than a projectile (wide) loom, the cotton consumption is higher and the time required is greater. In selvage jeans, you will see the actual edge of the fabric where the weaving stops and is finished by the loom, as opposed to denim woven on a projectile loom, where the fabric has been cut off at the ends. "
The point being, go buy some and wear them until you can't anymore (which will take you awhile). If you want that "lived in" feel to your denim, then go get some jeans and LIVE in them, there is no substitution for authentic weathering to your jeans. Try out this vintage-slim-cut pair from J.Crew (above) or if you wanna go more urban but still be put together, head on over to karmaloop.com and try out a pair from WeSC
