#423 Italy GreyXBlack Selvedge Bedford Corduroy

We always love finding selvedge styles that step outside the mold of traditional denim. These are some of the rarest finds and often some of the most beautiful. These two from Italy brought a huge smile to our faces. Bedford corduroy is a cousin of the traditional corduroy, but with a much more subtle structure. You see a distinct vertical rib on the surface which instantly sets these pants apart from a twill or traditional denim. The depth of the ribs is subtle, resulting in a nicely flowing, yet not overbearing visual line. 

The use of color in both warp and weft yarns put this style in a totally different league. The GreyXBlack uses a rich charcoal for the top ribs with the jet black on the lows providing a strong and unique contrast. Sewn up in traditional denim style this is destined to be one of your most unique pairs of selvedge if you're lucky enough to snag a pair. These are the fun finds that keep us coming back for more.
