- Last week I received a big box of Benzak Denim Developers Denim. It's full of good things, but just what are we going to look at first?
I think we'll kick this series off with the brand new natural indigo eco denim. This incredibly sustainable denim has been used in the very well established B-01 slim fit, the W-01 womens fit and the BDJ-01 denim jacket. Let's dive into the details of the jeans and jacket while talking a little about the denim itself, after al, its something a bit different. It's non-selvedge!
Check out the pieces here!

Surprisingly Wrangler's "original cowboy cut" is a great raw non selvedge jean for the price, usually 30 USD. It has a unique broken twill construction and one of the best waist tapers I've seen on a pair of pants. The only downside is that if you happen to accidentally wash it. It will become a very eye wrenching light blue with very little room for fade progression.
Hiut have been doing a non-selvedge organic raw denim for quite a long time and it's pretty nice. New subscriber by the way and enjoying your videos. Ta!
Just picked up a pair of Nudie Steady Eddie II’s in organic raw non-selvedge… really happy with them.
These Benzak’s look great: I feel like we’ll see more high quality raw non-selvedge coming out from more brands.
All of these denim videos I get recommended on YT are really making me want a Tellason coverall jacket. Whether the stock, non-selvedge 14 oz version or the 16 oz selvedge one. I can't recall, have you talked about that brand before? Seems to be quality, never had anything from Tellason myself. Wouldn't mind something from Benzak too, that clean foldover on the inside is honestly amazing. More companies should do that.
Mate, that is a classic style! So super good. And the fade so so well.
I am a big fan of Tellason and I know they guys well. I just don't have any of their jeans as yet. So thats why I've not mentioned them so far.
To be honest, I might just go with the Stock: shop.heddels.com/products/tellason-stock-coverall-jacket?ktk=UEdKczZRLWViMWVkNTVhMjNh&tap_a=10641-64f549&tap_s=788040-80a7f5
At that price it is a total steal... Ooft, but just looking... the Standard selvedge one is super nice! And that heavier denim will just fae down so nicely around the pocket details.

Haha, now I want one too ! ;)
@@CeeAreDee haha, hell yeah. I sure wouldn't mind watching a video should you get one (hint hint). I decided I'm definitely getting the stock jacket... once it's back _in_ stock in my size.
@@Cemmos I’m only a year late but if your still looking into Telleson or Nudie,n&f, and some other smaller under the radar brands check out Stuart’s in the UK free shipping over $100 to many countries…I just can’t make settle on which pair to get.
Great blog loved it 👍🏴🏴
Thanks Michael.
I agree that non-selvedge can still be amazing. Recently picked up a pair of Kapital’s Century Denim (persimmon dye version) and it’s probably my favorite pair of denim, but it’s non selvedge. I do wish they would finish the seam like the pair in the video.
That is some stunning denim.
@@CeeAreDee it is! If you’re ever in the market I would say go up 3-4 sizes if you’re going with the Stone cut. I’m a TTS 34 in the waist and a 36 does is extremely tight, a 38 would have been better.
if more brands would fold over the seam on non-selvedge like BDD id buy more non selvedge.
I know right! Super good way to finish the edge.
Sharp tux! What do you think of the placement of the pleats on the jacket? Does it give more ease of movement?
Yeah, A little bit. It mostly gives the Winter ponch a little bit of flexibility ;)
Benzak is the best!
They are pretty good.
I just realized you only have 8k subs! Thought you were around 50. Really good content, keep it up! Are you from germany or do you just live in berlin? I dont hear an accent that sounds german
Thanks man. I’ll get to 50k sometime. Just putting in the work. I’m originally from Scottish but been living in Berlin for a long time now.
@@CeeAreDee no problem, thoguht you sounded scottish but didn't remembee it was actually scorttish, you definetly deserve way more subscribers, but im an active viewer and thankful that you still make such good content.
Big fan of "Denim Tux" double denim all the way!
It’s the simple things that are the best.
@@CeeAreDee question...if "when" you wash either of the items, do you wash both to keep the finish uniform? or is that too picky?
@@dantravis4483 to picky my guy. Imo, just rock what you like, how you like it. I like darker jacket compared to pants personally.
@@itsmebutters978 thanks for your reply, indeed, do what you feel, personally, it’s not too picky for me to keep a uniformity in a denim tux, ie: a jacket and pants bought at the same time, made from the same denim and usually worn together deliberately. I wasn’t suggesting such attention to detail regarding everyday denim jacket / pants wearing. 👍
If you want more raw non selvedge, you got asket ( I have one and I love it) and norse projects (norse projects OOS now)
I see Asket a lot on my feed. Solid looking stuff. Need to look into it more.
Even got time on my lunch break for some cee R dee kiiiiiiiiid
Hope the food was good!
Have you tried Rail car fine goods? I’d like to hear your opinion if so! Thx
I had a pair of their very early models. The spike maybe. Can’t quite remember. Amazing jeans tho fit sure and I’d imagine they just go from strength to strength.
So now we have some solid raw denim that is non-selvedge, but what about good selvedge denim that is pre-faded or very light wash?
Hmm, Washed selvedge is kinda rare, but there are a few brands that do it and do it well. Check these out.

You should be able to find something awesome in that lot!
I hope you can check asket. Not selvedge. but would love to hear your opinion.
I’m going to have a look now.
Hi Matt. I could be wrong but I think Iron Heart offers a nonselvedge raw denim. I like these Benzak garments. I don’t see that here in N. America so I’m very curious.
Hey Duke, I was always wondering about the IH non-selvedge. I think that their bootcuts are non selvedge but someone told me they were cut from selvedge denim but the selvedge edge was removed to accommodate the shape.... couldn't confirm so I was not that sure. Benzak is really an incredible denim brand (and i'm not just saying that cause Lenn is a mate ;) they just really make fantastic jeans.
In N. America, Division Rd. has a good range of their products: divisionroadinc.com/collections/benzak-denim-developers?ktk=UEdKczZRLWZiMTFmNDJkODc0&tap_a=12702-3352c3&tap_s=788040-80a7f5
Take it easy, buddy.
Cee Are Dee I was surprised to hear that Benzak sources their denim from Berto mills. I thought they only offered Candiani denim. Now I'm even more curious. I'll have to see if they offer more traditional cut jeans with a roomier top. I like a higher rise with five buttons. That jacket is fantastic! I'm not sure about the lighter weight fabric but the details are perfect. Great review and thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Take care.
@@dukerobinson5421 I think the 707 would be your fit.
@@CeeAreDee Thanks! I’m looking at the Benzak site now.😁 I see they offer a lot of different fabrics. Very cool. Ugh, I don’t need another jacket but I might not be able to resist.😬
I’m about to start fading a pair of non-selvedge raw denim from Dearborn Denim. Made in USA.
Nice. Haven’t head of them. Hope they fade down nice.
Odd question for you, but since we get into minutia, what do you think about 7 vs 5 belt loops? I quite like them, but I find them rarely.
Haha. Love getting into the details. I can’t say it makes a big difference one way or the other for me. 7 belt loops are more commonly known in chinos and tailored pants. Jeans on the other hand were workwear and therefore I guess it was a cost cutting thing, dropping 2 belt loops. The Levi’s 606s from the 70s had 7 belt loops. The 606 Was this Stange missing linke Form workwear to fashion. That’s the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
How do you feel or think about classic/regular straight cut of jeans?
I like a slimmer straight jeans on myself. Like a CS from 3sixteen. They work super well on the more athletic guys. It just all depends on body shape.
Classic is classic for a reason. Woman like men that don't shove their package in small areas, except well....
Love the jacket, but they never fit my arms. Former military guy and I'm broad through the chest and arms.
That is tricky. Got a couple of friends with the same issue. Especially when it comes to the Japanese fits. Try the repro models maybe. They tend to have a fuller, boxy fit.
@@CeeAreDee I believe I will probably have to make my own. :)
Fir the price i think id go for selvedge over non even if it had natty indigo
I get that. I like the sustainability aspect tho. They would be the things that tilted me towards these.
How does recycled denim preserve the fiber structure and properties?
I think the recycled denim needs to be mixed with another fibre to ensure that it’s still strong enough to spin.
@@CeeAreDee Yes of course! ))) But! Diluted whiskey is not that good!
Its sad that Benzak only makes jeans for short people.. me and my 35" inseam will have to look elsewhere! :P
Haha. I’m a 32 inseam but wouldn’t consider myself short 😂
I recently bought some raw denim but it’s seems to be rly dark (don’t seem blue to me) the person I bought them from said they are navy. Would anyone know if these will fade to be blue or are there denims that don’t fade/fade into black ? How can I check
Might be indigo indigo weave. Hold them up to the bright sun and you’ll be able to see the underlying colour.
Rub your pants with a damp white rag. If the fabric turns blue you will see a fade.
@@maximm787 could work. Just be careful not to leave a lighter patch. Do it on a place you can’t see. The inside of the back pockets maybe.
What did you mean by "Getting the right fit for Europeans?" Do you mean the sizing numbers?
Ah yeah. Should have explained that better. I mean the European body shape as opposed to the Asian body shape. Benzak started with an all Japanese made line, the BDD line now. Lens idea was to create a brand with all the geeky details that denimheads loved from the Japanese brands but with an eye for fits that suit western body shapes.
@@CeeAreDee Always size up t-shirts from Asia. I have some really tiny medium shirts. Lol
@@BlueSpirit. Two sizes if you are American. ;)
will you review a pair of naked and famous?
wow
:)
wait isn't that guy dutch ? me too
Lennaert’s Dutch. Correct 😊🇳🇱
Bruh, IH been offering non selvedge denim in 21oz variety for 10 years.
Only know it in the bootcut fit. And 21 oz is a bit heavy for me.
@@CeeAreDee also nudies dry and eco selvedge are non selvedge, 14.4oz I think unless they stopped making it
Levi's makes raw non Selvedge denim
Yeah. But I was never convinced of the quality.
@@CeeAreDee yea, it's not the same.
500 likes for the women's jeans fit video 😂
How is leather not sustainable? It's a byproduct of the meat industry a lot of the time.
No, please don't wear the womens jeans.
Haha. Might start a Kickstarter with the main prize of me not wearing them 😂
