After some searching, I registered here to see if anyone here can answer a question. I have some yardage of old selvage denim. It's the heavy, narrow width stuff, so I guess it is circa the era when the Big E Levis were made, or earlier. One piece has the redline through the selvage, the other is plain. I got most of it from an estate sale where the owner had lots if fabric dating back to the early decades of the 20th century.
Is there a specific market for this? I have asked at ebay on the Vintage Clothing board, as well as the Fabric board with no real luck. Searches on "vintage denim fabric" or similar haven't brought me much info, either. I recall finding a site where people sewed their own jeans, but even there I couldn't get actual links to the discussions; I kept linking in circles.
I thought Japan might be a likely market, but I haven't found any info on that, either.
Thanks for any help you can offer. This site is a great resource for denim info!
