The Super Heavy is a true selvedge denim trifecta: huge weight, incredible comfort and amazing fades. This is a combination that you rarely find in a single denim, and likely why this style is one of our most popular extra heavy selvedges of all time. The incredible wear-in makes it a must have pair for your collection. 
At 18 ounces this denim is squarely in the extra heavy weight class. The moment you pick this pair up you feel the brick-like heft. However, that's not all you feel. Even in raw form, the fabric is amazingly pliable. It's that rare combination of weight and softness that we love. You feel tough wearing this denim but you can actually enjoy it right on day one. That's a very good thing because the fades are absolutely gorgeous. It starts with a bright indigo shade that's a bit lighter than a traditional dark indigo. It has a more open weave that brightens the overall look further. As you can see by the images, this denim transforms into true work of art over time. Great grain emerges on a sweet medium blue base. This is truly one the most special selvedges we've ever run and not rarely available, so grab yours today.
Choose either our classic Straight, Slim or Skinny fit. More details available in our fit guide.

Customer Feedback on #17 SUPER HEAVY
"This is my third pair! The break-in kind of sucks to be honest. But when it’s done, there is no denying that they are your jeans. They fit like they were custom at that point. Just remember the dryer might not be your friend when they are new. They like to hold a crease."
-Tim P. | Verified Buyer
"These are great jeans. I thought with a name like “super heavy,” the jeans would be like wearing crocodile skin. It was just a surprise when I found out the weight wasn’t that big of a deal- they can be worn on 80 degree days and not feel like a fleece pant. The most striking thing about them, however, is the pattern of the weave. I’ve never looked at jeans quite like it."
-Carl G. | Verified Buyer
