From Deadwood to Mogadishu, denim jeans have been a staple of the capable from the frontier to the fire fight. Celebrating our first decade in denim, the Intercept SV program combines exceptional fabrics and heritage construction techniques with the highly capable features the Intercept is known for.

SV: Featuring unique selvedge denims from the top 3 mills in Japan, this batch includes selvedge details on the continuous fly and welted coin pockets, chainstitched hems and waistbands, and flat-felled inseams and back rise. Invented in San Francisco by David Neustadter and patented in 1877, the continuous fly increases the durability and extends the  lifetime of pants and overalls by strengthening the garment at the point where the two inner seams meet.

Produced in small, carefully controlled batches on antique shuttle looms, selvedge denim has a tighter, denser weave than regular denim and its clean-finished edges are prized for their character and heritage.
