Selvedges are woven or knit so that they will not fray, ravel, or curl.

This is traditionally finished at both edges with a contrasting warp (most commonly red); that is why this type of denim is sometimes referred to as "red selvedge." This method of weaving the selvage is possible only when using a [[shuttle loom]]. Shuttle looms weave a narrower 30-inch fabric, which is on average half the width of modern shuttleless [[Sulzer (manufacturer)\|Sulzer looms]]. Consequently, a longer piece of fabric is required to make a pair of jeans from selvedge denim (approximately three yards).
