So , selvedge can be useful.....as we discover on the backpocket of a new release Ijin ''akamimi'' ( or redline ) model for 2010.
Avoiding all those dog-eared pocket tops Ijin decided to make a tailor finish use of the humble selvedge , which can act as a self-made functional hem.Also looks good when used in an unexpected position.
Across the pocket top the selvedge is sewn , busted open, & left open a the point that a button can be placed, but reinforced with strong long bartacks. Obviously the pocket is cut across the warp weave & therefore offers some interesting shading & automatic Ijin ''seasoning'' tricks.
And what of the button.....here it is the Ijin ''Tin Plate'' button, based on Military kit kitchenwares , it is in fact solid copper with an eggshell enamel.
Looking closely you can see the wording which is lazer etched & the copper which is tarnished on the back because of the heat generated.
