Men’s Vintage Wash Straight Leg Jeans

Everyone owns jeans. Almost nobody owns the pair that goes with everything.

That's what this is. Rigid 100% cotton in a soft ecru — loose and straight through the leg, mid-rise, no taper, no stretch. It sits somewhere between a jean and a trouser, which is exactly why it works with more than either. Wear it with the heavyweight knit and it reads considered. Wear it with a tee and trainers and it reads easy. Same trouser, both times.

No elastane, which is the part most brands skip because it's cheaper not to. Stretch denim feels good for a month and then bags out at the knee. This holds its shape, softens with every wear, and gets better the longer you own it.

• 310gsm 100% cotton: rigid, substantial, no stretch to sag out
• Loose straight leg: roomy through the thigh, falling clean to the ankle
• Mid-rise waist: sits where it should and stays there
• Natural ecru wash: no distressing, no fading, no rips
• Five-pocket construction: everything where you expect it
• No branding: nothing on the back pocket, nothing to date it
• The neutral that does the work: goes with every top in the range

Wear it:

• With the heavyweight knit when you want to look like you tried
• With a tee and trainers, which is most days
• Under the track jacket in autumn
• Anywhere blue denim would be the obvious choice
