Our denim comes in distinct categories (Stretch, Selvedge and Small Batch), for the same reason that sometimes you want an artisanal sipping whiskey, and others a draft beer. The Lightweight Charcoal Denim is part of our Small Batch series. Crafted from a Japanese Selvedge denim that is spun on old-fashioned shuttle looms, this is a unique shade of dark gray that will fade and patina beautifully over time. It is also a lighter weight than our typical jean, making it a great choice for the guy who likes to stick with dark, more rigid denim through the summer. It is loaded with quality details including a shank button fly, oxidized rivets, chain-stitched embroidery, a selvedge locker loop inside the back waist and selvedge outseams. So when you turn up the cuff, you’ll see the giveaway red ticking on the edge. Think of it as a rugged and more casual alternative to the way men of a bygone era wore gray flannel trousers, and pair it with a sportcoat, chore jacket  or sweater polo to complete your vintage leading man look.

Perfect summer weight selvedge

I purchased these for a spring break trip to Santa Monica from Washington, D.C. The jeans were a perfect weight for warmer weather while still retaining the slightly rough selvedge denim feel. The sublet green tint of the thread on the canvas color adds a sophisticated touch. I purchased in my normal size as per other buyers' recommendations in the review section and they fit perfectly - I would definitely ignore the recommendation to go up a size. The jeans are a true slim fit and have all the details of other Todd Snyder selvedge denim. I can also report that they are fully sanforized and suffered NO shrinkage in the waist or inseam after a cold water wash and hang dry, that is very unusual, but really appreciated with sanforized selvedge denim. If I did not already have 3 other pairs of Todd Snyder selvedge, 3 pairs of RGT selvedge, and 3 pairs of Levis 501 selvedge, I would buy another pair, especially appealing in gray.

Nice material

Nice selvedge material but the slim fit isn’t right for me. I am an average 32/30 kind of a guy, but am 49 y/o with muscular thighs and glutes. Couldn’t pull these up and not to mention no space for everything else.

Different cuts

I have both the indigo and white wash colors it's important to note the white is not 100 percent cotton as is the indigo. And more importantly the fit is different. The white is slimmer with a more tapered fit from the thigh through the calves. The indigo is not although I consider it a true slim. I much prefer the white at 6'1 170.

Both are beautiful jeans but the differences are quite noticeable and need to be pointed out. The white is also a much stiffer denim for some reason. Five stars for both but certainly not the 'same' jeans.

Quality Japanese fabric

Dark grey, consistent sizing and amazing fit.

Do not leave home without cuffing them to show your selvedge stripes!

I would love to see them Made In the USA!

Big Fan

I have been looking for the perfect cream jean for almost a year, and I finally found them. The color is the perfect shade I was looking for and the fit is great. I am usually a 29 but bought a 30 because I wanted the jeans to be a little loose. Note these jeans will stretch out a little so buy your true size for a tailored fit.
