The Jeans
My jeans are based on a pattern that my dear friend Roy and I developed here in Montana in early 2023. The pattern is based on his final shrink to fit draft that he spent years adjusting and perfecting. It’s a 1950’s 501 style miners jean, a tribute to the golden era of denim. A fuller cut and higher rise provide an ease of movement ideal for working or just kicking back. The traditional yoke, front facing, and waistband shrink to hug the upper hip and waist eliminating the need to wear a belt to keep your jeans up. Sizes are based on your true waist measurement.
My jeans are made to order by myself but they are not custom fitted. If this is a style you can appreciate, then great- you’ve found a fine pair of jeans. If you’re more used to a modern slimmer cut, you can size down a size and I can adjust the waist to your measurement.
All my jeans offered are made from original Cone Mills White Oak Plant selvage denim. As my supply grows smaller, they will be released in smaller groups. You can keep track of releases on my Instagram.
