Description
Cobra Broken Twill Selvedge by Crimson Serpents Denim Goods are not just another pair of jeans. They are a statement of style, durability, and quality. Specifically, the CS-1 Cobra, our signature fit, is designed in a slim, straight fit. It offers a modern, tailored silhouette that is slim through the thigh and slightly tapered from the knee down, thus providing you with a balanced look that is neither too tight nor too loose. Our goal for this style was to create a comfortable and sleek fit, thus maintaining a contemporary appearance.
Our expert tailors in Los Angeles handcraft the Cobra from Kaihara Mills 13 oz. broken twill selvedge fabric, woven in Japan. The mid-rise waist and five-pocket design ensure timeless appeal. At the same time, our signature detailing—like the hand-stamped leather patch (vegan patch coming soon) and branded hardware—adds a unique touch. But what truly sets these jeans apart is their durability. Reinforced stitching, double-lined back pockets, and overall durable construction build them for long-lasting wear.
Are you dressing up for a night out or keeping it casual for a weekend getaway? The Cobra’s versatile styling options and dark indigo hue allow you to pair these with any look effortlessly. The leg opening is suitable for various footwear options, from boots, sneakers, oxfords, or even espadrilles.
Looking at the fabric: Cobra Broken Twill Selvedge
Broken twill selvedge, a type of denim fabric, is not just about its high-quality construction. It’s about its unique weaving pattern. Unlike traditional twill weaves, which create a right or left-hand diagonal ribbing pattern, broken twill features an interrupted or zigzag pattern.
Wrangler, the iconic American denim brand, pioneered the use of broken twill denim in their jeans. First introduced in the 1960s, Wrangler’s broken twill denim was developed to address leg twisting and seam puckering with traditional twill fabrics. By creating a zigzag or alternating weave pattern, broken twill effectively prevents the fabric from skewing, ensuring a more comfortable and consistent fit over time.
At first glance, our 13 oz. version looks like it would be rigid and stiff, like typical raw denim. Thanks to the broken twill construction, these have a shorter break-in period. The sample pair we produced was worn and tested for a few weeks, and we noticed that they were breaking in and softening up pretty fast. Whiskering on the front hip area and honeycombs on the rear knee were starting to be prevalent in our short break-in period.
Combining broken twill with selvedge weaving techniques offers a unique texture and appearance alongside enhanced durability and resistance to twisting. This makes it a popular choice for high-quality, long-lasting denim jeans that ages beautifully.
About the fit and sizing:
Our CS-1 Cobra slim straight is a medium-rise slim fit cut slim from the hip through the thigh. The leg opening is straight from the knee down, offering a clean and streamlined silhouette without being too tight. For sizing, going up one size from your usual jeans is recommended for instant comfort.
Choosing your usual size is recommended if you plan to break these in for a while before the first wash—the 13 oz. broken twill selvedge fabric breaks in pretty quickly. The waist may be tight the first few wears, but it loosens up pretty quickly. Going this route is ideal if you want a more custom fit in the long run.
We have measured all sizes in-house according to our sizing guide. Please check the measurements at the bottom of this page. If you have any questions about the fit and sizing, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always here to help.
