Got Some Selvedge Jeans? Here's How You Style Them!

If you've got a good pair of jeans but unsure how to put outfits around them, our new guide is just for you!

We spend a lot of time on Denimhunters discussing what we feel are the world’s best jeans and pieces that complement our well-made selvedge. We offer occasional style advice, but, until now, we’ve placed far more focus on what to wear than on how to wear it.

We want to help you put your best and most stylish foot forward in 2025, so we’re closing 2024 with answers to our most frequently asked selvedge style questions. We’ll start with a look at styling selvedge jeans, but this is only the beginning. In the months ahead, we’re planning to look at other selvedge style essentials and how to build outfits with them. 

If you’ve got style questions, we’d love to hear them. You can submit them here. We’ll try to answer them with in-depth articles in the months ahead.

🎉 Meet Ben Lynch, Our Heimat Giveaway Winner! 🎉

Ben is a 42-year-old Petty Officer in the Royal Navy, living in Gosport—a town that (as you may know) is also home to Iron Heart International. It’s no surprise then that Ben has his eye on the Iron Heart 777s as his first pair of raw denim jeans, a solid choice for someone beginning their selvedge denim journey!

Ben discovered Denimhunters through Instagram and was quickly captivated by the world of raw denim. “I’m fairly new, but I’m hooked!” he says, crediting our guides with igniting his passion and helping him learn the ropes of high-quality denim. That’s why he entered the Heimat giveaway.

As a sailor, Heimat’s classic mariner-style sweaters are a natural fit for Ben, and he loves the brand’s commitment to natural fibres and traceable craftsmanship. While he may seem like the ultimate match for Heimat, his selection as the winner was entirely random—a delightful twist of fate!

With his prize, Ben plans to pick up a cosy U-Boat sweater and a matching trawler hat, rounding out a look that’s both functional and timeless. Once again congratulations, Ben, and here’s to new adventures in quality craftsmanship—on land or at sea!
