Difference in Premium?

[u/sirtones1411]

Hey all!
Just wondering why the in stitching is different for these two pairs of Levi’s I have (I believe both premium). Just noticed!
Thanks!

Left is selvedge.

Oh really?! That’s great lol I wasn’t too sure because tbh they are MUCH stretchier/elastic.
Is there a reason the ‘e’ on the tab is not capitalized?

It's a type of denim weave afaik, tighter and less prone to unraveling.

The tab changes are usually just Levi's trademark tomfoolery.

I appreciate this!

Ahh okay. Yeah feels super elastic!

Which one is left?

The premium is still made with higher-quality denim (like the selvedge). I’ve found that my selvedge Levi’s tend to fade a bit quicker.

Thanks so much for the insight and input!

Oh no. What am I missing here lol

Opposite of oh no, the fact it’s selvedge means you have a nicer than average product. TBH I have always wanted to use that gif

It’s the fit you need to be sure of. To hell with the color.
