Constant innovation with SDA is to be expected, and joining the ranks of the brand’s standard issue Selvedge denim lineup for next season is the new “GL3” series. GL3 is the reference number of the loom that powers the weaving of this new series, and in terms of history followed the beloved G3 shuttle looms in terms of timeline of Japanese Selvedge denim. The Toyoda (Toyota Automobile’s parent company) began the series with the groundbreaking innovation of the Toyota Model G Loom in 1924. Creating and patenting this coveted machine allowed for Toyota to license the technology of this shuttle loom which served as the financing to eventually start the Toyota car company in 1937.

The “G3” shuttle loom is renowned as being the first machine to weave Japanese Selvedge denim locally, and with further improvements and innovation came the direct successor, the “GL3” shuttle loom. Calibrating every element of the production process, this new series carries experience and innovation given SDA’s long history in Selvedge denim. With multiple round of trial and error, the team opted for a No.7 super slub yarn yielding serious texture, and the calibration of the GL3 loom itself to output a low-tension denim.
