Classic jean in Japanese selvedge denim
We source denim from some of the world's most renowned mills, create exclusive washes and build our jeans to feel good from the moment you put them on. This 100 percent cotton selvedge denim comes from the renowned Nihon Menpu mill in Japan, which, when it comes to authenticity, is as good as it gets. This esteemed mill's experienced artisans weave denim on vintage looms, so the resulting fabric is the kind your grandfather would have picked up way back in the day. "Selvedge" refers to the self-finished edge of a piece of fabric, a tightly woven band that keeps the hem from unraveling and fraying. Flip the cuffs to see the selvedge line, a sign of denim that's built to last. The vintage-inspired classic jean represents the platonic ideal of denim, based on an archival fit from the 1950s that's still going strong. With a slightly longer rise and a true, straight leg, this is a wardrobe staple for everyone.

Dark Denim Dungarees? Done!
1 week agoI'm not the biggest denim snob, but I'm definitely particular when hunting down my wardrobe staples. The prompt for this season was straight cut, higher waist, classic fit; These selvedge jeans from J.Crew deliver on all points. Bonus points for the selvedge details (which are a big hit for me since I'm definitely to the left of the heigh bell curve and tend to like a small cuff), the beautiful nappy texture (due credit to the iconic Kaihara mill), and the classic wash (I can't wait to see how this indigo fades!). What else can I say?! These jeans are going to get a ton of wear, both dressed up and down. They pair just as perfectly with a plain cotton Wallace & Barnes t-shirt and ball cap as they do with a Ludlow dress shirt and loafers.

High quality, versatile jeans; button fly
1 week agoI’m a huge fan of these. Timeless fit and great quality for the price, you can easily dress them up for work or dress them down for going to the grocery store - super versatile. My only complaint is that it’s a button fly and not a zipper, which is a little inconvenient. Although once you break the buttons in they are easy to snap on/off
