Coloured Threads

Historically, all denim had a selvedge finish — typically in plain white — as the fabric was always made using shuttle looms. In the 1930s, manufacturers started to add different colours to selvedge, as a way to recognize the different qualities they were producing for various clients. Red was the original addition and has since become synonymous with selvedge finishes, however, Wingfly often features special selvedge thread colours like pink,green and our signature blue.
