Frequently Asked Questions
What is selvedge denim?
Selvedge denim is woven on traditional shuttle looms, producing a tightly woven, self-finished edge that prevents fraying. It is considered the gold standard of denim — denser, more durable, and more characterful than mass-produced denim. Old Gene uses selvedge denim to honour the craft traditions that made Indian textiles world-famous.
Why does Old Gene use indigo dye?
India was historically one of the world's largest exporters of natural indigo dye, supplying Europe and Asia for centuries. Our heritage indigo wash pays homage to this legacy — connecting modern vintage denim to India's deep-rooted artisanal history.
How do selvedge jeans fit compared to regular jeans?
Our Men's Dark Blue Selvedge Jeans feature a straight-leg, high-rise fit inspired by early 20th century workwear tailoring. They sit higher at the waist than contemporary jeans and have a clean, structured silhouette. We recommend sizing up if you prefer a relaxed fit.
Do selvedge jeans shrink after washing?
Raw and selvedge denim can shrink slightly on the first wash. We recommend washing in cold water and air drying to preserve the fit and indigo depth. Many denim enthusiasts prefer to wash selvedge jeans as infrequently as possible to develop a natural, personal fade pattern.
Are these jeans made in India?
Yes. Every pair of Old Gene selvedge jeans is made in India, supporting local artisans and manufacturing traditions. We believe in slow fashion rooted in heritage — not fast fashion produced at scale.
What makes Old Gene different from other vintage denim brands?
Old Gene Originals is India's premium vintage denim label, drawing inspiration from iconic eras — the Gold Rush, the Sailor era, the Youth Rebellion, and India's own indigo heritage. Each collection tells a story. Our selvedge denim is sourced and crafted with intention, making every piece a wearable piece of history.
