What is Uniqlo’s selvedge?
Uniqlo’s selvedge is a slightly different animal. At the time of this review, Uniqlo uses Kaihara Selvedge for all of its selvedge offerings.

The fabric is thick, ringspun, and unsanforized (or “raw” as some companies like to market it).

Uniqlo neglects to mention the unsanforized bit on their website, and that’ll be a bit of a surprise to many new to the denim game. Since the fabric is unsanforized, it will shrink and fade when washed. This needs to be repeated for emphasis: The denim is untreated. It will shrink and fade.

Uniqlo is a budget brand, and their denim is priced accordingly. It’s hard to get excited over an inexpensive, easilyobtainable product. Uniqlo has such a wide variety of denim fabrics, colours, and fits that it’s difficult for a reviewer (or, one assumes, a consumer) to navigate the array of options.
What is the difference between Uniqlo and Kaihara denim?
Kaihara denim comes with an extra tag that says “Kaihara”, “Kaihara Premium”, or (in the case of selvedge denim) “Kaihara Selvedge Denim”. Not all of UNIQLO’s denim is made at Kaihara.
