Historically, the name is derived from the French phrase “serge de Nîmes,” which translates to \u003cstrong\u003e“fabric from Nîmes.”\u003c\/strong\u003e In this southern French city, this coarse material was originally produced for workwear before it began its worldwide success story in the 19th century through Levi Strauss in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDenim is currently enjoying a real resurgence; it is \u003cstrong\u003ethe timeless color,\u003c\/strong\u003e the fantastic development of the fabric, which acquires a great \"fading\" (signs of wear, patina) as it is worn. For this, however, it should be raw denim—an untreated, non-pre-washed, or bleached denim fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt is a tight-knit scene that celebrates and lives the raw denim lifestyle. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this purpose, we have designed and created \u003cstrong\u003ethis exclusive belt.\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a piece of history and, above all, great craftsmanship that goes into this belt. They are available with various \u003cstrong\u003e\"raw denim\"\u003c\/strong\u003e fabrics from Japan. \u003cstrong\u003eSelvedge denim and twill from Japan are considered the absolute premier class of denim fabrics worldwide. \u003c\/strong\u003e The word \"selvedge\" is derived from \"self-edge.\" It describes denim that is woven slowly on traditional, old shuttle looms. This creates a closed, clean fabric edge that does not fray and is usually \u003cstrong\u003erecognizable by a colored inner thread (often red)\u003c\/strong\u003e when you roll up the jeans.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the Japanese version so special?\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c!--TgQPHd|||[[2,[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,[351768,null,0]],[],null,1]]--\u003eWhile the American textile industry switched to fast mass production starting in the 1950s, Japanese manufacturers bought up many of the old looms and perfected the craft. Regions like \u003cstrong\u003eKojima in Okayama\u003c\/strong\u003e thus became the global epicenter for high-end denim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis high-quality belt was crafted in 3 layers. \u003c\/strong\u003eFirst, a vegetable-tanned full-grain leather strap, 2mm thick and 3.9cm wide. The denim fabric was glued onto this, then the whole thing was pressed into a mold so that the final layer, the leather side strips, could be glued on straight. The adhesive is a natural starch-based glue, which is only intended to fix the fabric and the side strips in place.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSubsequently, everything was sewn together on our ADLER saddler sewing machine from 1928. The belt loop was produced using the same principle and rounds off the piece. \u003cstrong\u003eThe hole reinforcement\u003c\/strong\u003e was hand-sewn with waxed thread using a saddle stitch, which makes the seam incredibly stable and robust.

It is not selvedge denim, so the fabric edge is open, which plays no role for our belts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe green color of the denim goes excellently with the natural color of the leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA companion for eternity and guaranteed NOT A MASS-PRODUCED ITEM!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kreativwerke","offers":[{"title":"29.5-31.5in","offer_id":57579734892884,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"80-85cm","offer_id":57579734925652,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"85-90cm","offer_id":57579734958420,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"90-95cm","offer_id":57579734991188,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"95-100 cm","offer_id":57579735023956,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100-105cm","offer_id":57579735056724,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"105-110cm","offer_id":57579735089492,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"110-115cm","offer_id":57579735122260,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"115-120cm","offer_id":57579735155028,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"120-125cm","offer_id":57579735187796,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"125-130cm","offer_id":57579735220564,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"130-135cm","offer_id":57579735253332,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"135-140cm","offer_id":57579735286100,"sku":null,"price":415.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/4320\/3156\/files\/20261007_135831.jpg?v=1791886250","url":"https:\/\/kreativwerke-cerny.de\/en\/products\/ledergurtel-denim-12-7oz-striped-hickory-kopie","provider":"Kreativwerke","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
