Motorcycle jean trousers for enthusiasts, that’s what this Lewis Selvedge TF represents. New motorcycle jeans too; the type as well as the trousers themselves: the Lewis Selvedge TF was awarded an AA safety level without using an extra layer of Aramid (which means, without lining) which takes it to lonely heights when it comes to comfort.
The Lewis Selvedge Tapered Fit (TF) is available in length sizes 32, 34 and 36.
Selvedge jeans are mostly sold and worn ‘unwashed’. The correct technical term is ‘self-edge’ and refers to the ‘self-finished edges’ that are the result of a (slower) weaving process on shuttle weaving looms. Connoisseurs will recognise the traditional denim type by its (non-frayed) edges and the typical seam that becomes visible when you turn the trouser leg over. By the way, that’s where the Lewis Selvedge TF has subtle reflective material.
Newbies will know when they put on these motorcycle jeans: a different class. This is also due to that weaving process on shuttle looms but for the noob, that’s not important. What’s more important is that these motorbike jeans are finished to the details, with the right yarn in the right colour in all the right places. Those things, exactly. The devil is in the details. And in a razor-sharp pair of motorcycle jeans, light-weight and nice to the touch, not too hot because the safety is in the denim itself, not the layer underneath.
The main (and only) component is known by the connoisseurs as ‘Cordura stretch selvedge denim 13 OZ’, where the newbies will notice the sturdy yarn, the excellent wear-resistant properties of Cordura and sufficient stretch to give the Lewis Selvedge a tapered fit.
Let’s summarise: these motorcycle jeans are more of the refined kind. This includes the standard pockets and sturdy button, just like the belt loops and zipper. Also included are the height-adjustable SEESMART knee protectors, as are the standard SEESMART hip protectors.
The Lewis Selvedge TF is the motorcycle jeans that comes closest to regular jeans comfort-wise, without compromising on safety whatsoever. If you’ve read all the way to this point, then we’ll tell you: this is what we wear on sunny biking days.
