The price seems at odds with the quality on these, really low price yet still offering a quality pair of selvedge Jeans. I think the denim on these is bleached however like the older pre 2006 non selvedge jeans were ( McDonalds comes to mind, which co incidently had the same type of waistpatch) and also a tad lighter in weight. My Fu Ra RMC Jacket, although selvedge, is also bleached cotton as well.
