00:00Hashtag Top 5 Heavyweight Selvage Denim for Raw Fades
00:04Paragraph 1 Hook Slash Intro
00:07What's going on everybody, welcome back to the channel.
00:10So if you're anything like me, you know there's nothing more satisfying than breaking in a
00:14pair of heavy, stiff raw denim and watching those sick fades develop over months and years.
00:19Well, I went deep down the rabbit hole and found 5 pairs of heavyweight selvage denim
00:24that are absolutely perfect for raw fading, and honestly, the prices on some of these
00:28are going to blow your mind.
00:30Let's get into it.
00:32Paragraph 2 Product 1
00:34Alright, kicking things off at number 5, we've got the Sashun 316XX Casual Selvage Jeans.
00:41Now Sashun has been making serious waves in the denim community, and for good reason.
00:46These come completely raw and unwashed, which is exactly what you want if you're chasing
00:51those high-contrast fades.
00:53The indigo dye on these is deep and rich, and the straight cut gives you that classic vintage
00:57silhouette that never goes out of style.
01:00They've sold nearly 5,000 pairs with a 4.9 rating, so clearly people are loving them.
01:06And at just 75 bucks, you're getting legitimate selvage denim for a fraction of what the big
01:11Japanese brands charge.
01:13Seriously solid entry point into the heavyweight raw denim game.
01:18Paragraph 3, Product 2
01:20Coming in at number 4 is the 511XX0001, and this one is a beast.
01:26We're talking 16 ounces of heavyweight indigo selvage denim that is sanforized, which means
01:31minimal shrinkage so what you buy is pretty much what you get in terms of fit.
01:35Now this particular pair comes lightly washed, but don't let that turn you off, it still has
01:40tons of fade potential and that initial wash just takes the edge off the stiffness for people
01:44who don't want to suffer through that brutal break-in period.
01:47It's sitting at a perfect 5.0 rating with nearly 5,000 sold, which honestly speaks for itself.
01:54At around $77, you're getting a premium 16-ounce denim experience that punches way above its
02:00weight class in terms of quality.
02:02Paragraph 4, Product 3
02:05Number 3 on the list is the 7100004, and okay, this is where things get really interesting for
02:12the denim purists out there. This is a 14-ounce unsanforized, completely raw and unwashed natural
02:18indigo selvage denim. Let me say that again, unsanforized. That means you get the full old
02:24school experience, the initial soak, the shrinkage, the denim literally molding to your body over time.
02:30The fades you'll get from this pair are going to be absolutely insane because
02:34that natural indigo creates these beautiful, almost-electrid blue highlights as it wears down.
02:39Now it is pricier at around $149, but for unsanforized natural indigo selvage?
02:46That's honestly still a steal compared to what you'd pay from brands like Samurai or Pure Blue
02:51Japan. This one's for the serious fade chasers. Paragraph 5, Product 4
02:58At number 2, we have this 15-ounce heavyweight raw denim with red selvage, and honestly,
03:03this might be the best bang for your buck on the entire list.
03:07$58
03:09$58 for 15-ounce red selvage raw denim with a tapered straight fit and that classic American
03:14vintage aesthetic. The tapered straight cut is super wearable and modern, so you get that
03:19heritage look without swimming in fabric below the knee. It's got a perfect 5.0 star rating and over
03:254,000 pairs sold, which tells me the quality is there even at this crazy low price point.
03:31If you're new to raw denim and you want to dip your toes in without dropping a ton of money,
03:35this is the one I'd point you to every single time. Paragraph 7, Outro
