ourlet [dans le, de ou du] même tissu
Explanation:
A hem is usually a self-fabric hem since a hem is typically just a folded edge that is stitched down so that it uses the same fabric as the rest of the garment. Most of the time, one never mentions what they are made of since most hems are self-fabric hems. In this case, the advertiser wants to emphasis that the hem of the glove is made in the same leather as the rest of the glove, a design detail that can not be done in a glove unless the leather is supple enough.

How to apply hem facing
Sometimes a hem needs to be longer and there's not enough fabric for it. Or, sometimes a **self-fabric hem** is too heavy for the design of the garment.

lisière


Explanation:
"The selvage refers to the two long sides of the towel. The best type of selvage is what is called a “natural selvage” or “self-hem,” also referred to as a “true selvage” or “woven selvage”. This refers to a side selvage that has no sewing – the terry stops and the edge of the towel is the base cloth. Most U.S. mills have this type of machinery that produces this type of selvage."
